Lon Bouldin

Director of the First Saturday Art Crawl 

Nashville’s 2019 art calendar got a sad start with the news of Lon Bouldin’s passing at age 49 on Feb. 12. Bouldin was a fixture in Nashville’s downtown art scene through his role as director of the First Saturday Art Crawl and his work with the Nashville Downtown Partnership.

Bouldin was a public relations pro who specialized as an arts and entertainment publicist, further cementing his reputation as an advocate for creative ventures of all kinds. He was a native Tennessean who was born in Memphis, and went to high school at Franklin Road Academy. Nashville’s downtown 5th Avenue of the Arts gallery scene put Nashville on the national map as a visual-arts destination, and Bouldin was one of the champions who made that possible.

On Feb. 17, The Arts Company held a memorial for Bouldin, where they rolled out a red carpet in his honor. —Joe Nolan

John A. Hobbs

Music Valley impresario

Starting in 1969 with Fiddler’s Inn, John A. Hobbs and his partners began opening businesses on the old Rudy Farms site, in what we now call Music Valley. This was some six years before the Opryland Hotel opened. In 1977, teaming up with the legendary Jerry Reed, Hobbs opened the Nashville Palace, which over the years provided starts for Randy Travis, Alan Jackson, Lorrie Morgan and Ricky Van Shelton, among others. (Travis Tritt washed dishes; Third Man Records honky-tonker Joshua Hedley played there as well.) Hobbs and his partners opened more than two dozen businesses in the Valley, including hotels, restaurants and a wax museum.

Hobbs sold the Palace in 2003 — his grandson Barrett Hobbs brought it back into the family, purchasing the Palace in 2016 — and opened John A’s Little Palace in 2005. It was built to his exact specifications, including a semi-private corner where John A. would hold court with his old friends, including former Los Angeles Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda and Major League Baseball umpire Joe West (Country Joe has been known to take the stage to sing Merle Haggard songs from time to time).

In 2007, Hobbs began a political breakfast on the last Saturday of every month. The breakfast is now a standard stop for anyone — particularly Democrats — running for office, thinking about running for office, considering possibly running for office or fixing to sit down to ponder what running for office would be like. Though the breakfast is popular with Dems, an occasional Republican will make their way into the fray at John A’s. Former U.S. Rep. Diane Black made a surprising visit during her ultimately unsuccessful gubernatorial bid, for example. 

A devout Catholic, Hobbs frequently raised money for the Diocese of Nashville and charities. 

Hobbs, who joined the Merchant Marine when he was 15, served in World War II and was on one of the first ships to sail into Tokyo Bay on V-J Day, died June 13. He was 91. —J.R. Lind 

Alice Ingram Hooker

Philanthropist, community leader

In Memoriam 2019: Around the City

Alice Ingram Hooker, whose philanthropic efforts helped elevate the Steeplechase to the premier event it is today

With the passing of Alice Ingram Hooker, Nashville lost one of its great philanthropists. She leaves behind a legacy of civic leadership, not only for supporting worthwhile causes, but also for doing the hands-on work a project needed to succeed.

The most notable endeavor combined her passion for children’s welfare with her love of horses. She and her husband, Henry Hooker, were instrumental in creating the union between the Volunteer State Horsemen’s Foundation and Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt, which elevated the Iroquois Steeplechase from a popular local race to a premier sporting competition and citywide fundraiser that has raised more than $10 million for the hospital.

Numerous other area nonprofits dedicated to children’s health, sport, education and preservation benefited from Alice’s tireless work, including Cheekwood, the Memorial Foundation, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, the Nashville Symphony, United Way, Leadership Nashville, Project Pencil, Travellers Rest, the Middle Tennessee Pony Club, the Junior League of Nashville and the Ensworth School. Alice’s selflessness and service live on as examples to those of us who follow. She will be remembered for her thoughtful philanthropy, her leadership and her lifelong desire to make Middle Tennessee a better place to live. —Holly Hoffman

Margaret Turner

Philanthropist, arts patron, children’s book author

Margaret Leigh Burnett Turner — a local philanthropist, children’s book author and supporter of the arts — was born in Glasgow, Ky., and grew up in nearby Park City. She attended Glasgow High School and Western Kentucky University, where she met Cal Turner Jr. at a concert at Van Meter Hall.

“Margaret and Cal would share a lifetime together, doubling the joys and halving the sorrows that naturally come a couple’s way,” reads her obit from Phillips-Robinson Funeral Home. “As the CEO of Dollar General and a leader in the community, Cal was called upon to carry a heavy load, a role that at times could be lonely. Margaret’s devotion to Cal buoyed him on many occasions, providing a remedy for the moment that only the love of a committed wife provides.”

The obit also notes the publication of her children’s book I the Fly: “Always a champion of the underdog, Margaret helps the reader focus a magical lens on events and things people take for granted, but which prove to be heroic challenges to a courageous fly.”

Turner supported Blair School of Music, the Nashville Institute for the Arts, the Tennessee Dance Theatre, the W.O. Smith Music School, Thistle Farms and the Nashville Zoo. —William Williams

Carrie Gentry

Pioneer

The civil rights movement is full of heroes — the ones we all know and the ones we don’t. So often, the ones we don’t know are the reason we know the ones we do.

Take Carrie Gentry, who died in December at 95. She taught dance at Tennessee State University and led the Aristocrat of Bands’ majorettes. Her husband, Howard Gentry Sr., was the school’s athletic director. When TSU students began learning nonviolence techniques that would be the driving force in the nascent Nashville movement and its sit-ins and marches, it was the Gentrys who drove them from campus to First Baptist-Capitol Hill. Later, when the students were arrested, it was Carrie Gentry who would post their bail.

In 1963, Gentry and her friend Inez Crutchfield became the first African Americans to serve on the Davidson County Democratic Party’s Women’s Club. In 1978, Gentry became the club’s president, three years after Crutchfield. Gentry, Crutchfield and five other women won the Joe Kraft Humanitarian Award from the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee in 2019. In a video produced for the ceremony, prominent Nashville attorney Aubrey Harwell called Gentry and Crutchfield “surrogate mothers to a group of people who were rebelling against a system that was unfair and unjust and disrespectful.”

Gentry was the 13th of 14 children. Her mother died giving birth to her youngest child. After her father died, Gentry was raised by her siblings and then attended Howard University in Washington, D.C. In 1949, she and her husband moved to Nashville, where he’d be named an assistant at what was then Tennessee A&I. 

Gentry is survived by her children, Carol Gentry Johnson and Davidson County Criminal Court Clerk Howard Gentry Jr., six grandchildren, six great-grandchildren and generations of grateful Americans — who perhaps didn’t know her name, but felt her influence. —J.R. Lind

Gaile Owens

Former death row inmate, community member

In April 2010, after Gaile Owens had spent 24 years in the Tennessee State Prison for Women, the Supreme Court of Tennessee declined to vacate, modify or commute Owens’ death sentence for hiring a hit man to murder her husband. Her execution was set for Sept. 28, 2010.

Immediately, a group of supporters who included former Tennessean editor John Seigenthaler, clemency attorney George Barrett, Titans coach Jeff Fisher, post-conviction attorney Kelley Henry, singer-songwriter Marshall Chapman, high-profile PR professionals, members of a Bible study group and — most significantly and with greatest difficulty — her son Stephen, who was just 11 years old when his father was killed, began a campaign directed at then-Gov. Phil Bredesen. Two months later, Bredesen commuted Owens’ sentence to life, which with time served, brought her before a parole board on Sept. 7, 2011. After reviewing reports of her work in prison and testimony by her son and many community members, parole board member Patsy Bruce voted yes. That paved the way for Owens to walk out of prison on Oct. 7, 2011, and into a job at Thistle Farms, the nonprofit dedicated to women coming off the streets or out of prison.

In the eight years since her release, Owens expanded her community of friends through several jobs that typically involved assisting other women enduring hardships. The news of her death at age 67 the day before Thanksgiving prompted an outpouring of grief and love, including from Thistle Farms board member Carolyn Snell, who said: “Gaile is an example of second chances and forgiveness and witnessing love heal. I am most grateful she did not die behind prison walls.” —Kay West

Larry Carlile

Chef, innovator, rascal

Anyone who had a chance to speak with Larry Carlile knew immediately he was a “good guy.” Anyone who befriended Larry knew his sweet Southern smile could easily transform into a mischievous smirk. He would work the long, arduous hours of an executive chef, but when it came time to sit and relax, he would melt into a seat and become his sweet-tea self.

Larry had lunch with his fellow chef, Holly Peters, nearly every day. They’d work on the menus, talk shop and sometimes play a game of “hot chicken roulette” — the crew would make one of the two servings extra hot, and they’d simultaneously take a bite to see who’d end up in tears. Either way, that smirk always came.

A Southern food revival and the farm-to-fork movement in Nashville happened at the same time as Larry’s entry as an executive chef in this city. Larry could reference the esteemed Southern dame Edna Lewis, Scott Peacock or Sean Brock, and in the same sentence speak with adoration about Taco Bell and McDonald’s. He was the ultimate junk-food junkie, able to hold a Krispy Kreme doughnut in one hand while he had tears in his eyes describing the marble structure of the Kobe beef he was about to portion. All of us, his work family, loved to see his Buddha smile of contentment — hands on his belly — after a bowl of his hot chicken atop a mound of mac-and-cheese, washed back with an orange Fanta.

Larry was the opening chef at Germantown’s Silo in 2012 and Hemingway’s in 2017, and he also spent time at Coco’s Italian Market, Radius10, Lime, Virago and Fat Kat Slim’s. Innovating and experimenting were his life as a chef. Larry would devour a classic book on fermentation trying to find ways to meld Asian cuisine and Southern comfort foods. But he was not one to brag or shout about his culinary accomplishments and awards. He always kept it simple. He took his own life in December at age 39.

“We will always have a cobbler on the menu,” he once said. “It’s one of my favorites.” Larry was one of our favorites. Simple, humble, just plain good. —Paul Cercone

Win Myint 

Restaurateur, teacher, advocate, patriarch

In Memoriam 2019: Around the City

Win Myint, social activist and restauranteur

Win Myint’s death on Nov. 4 marked the terminus of nearly a half-century of work, vision and generosity that individually and with his late wife Patti made a profound impact on Nashville’s evolving cultural timeline.

A native of Burma, he emigrated to America to attend college, then moved to Nashville to become a math professor at Tennessee State University. In 1975, he and Patti, an immigrant from Thailand, bought a boarded-up storefront on Belmont Boulevard. Though Patti was the face and ebullient personality of International Market, and queen of that culinary curve in the road that included PM and BLVD, Win Myint built enduring community bridges as a social activist, refugee advocate, board member of United Nations Association Nashville and a founder of the Buddhist Temple of Nashville.

While Patti’s unexpected death in October 2018 provoked a gasp of disbelief that reverberated through the community — and the closing of International Market on July 31 brought dismay at the loss of another Old Nashville dining institution — Win Myint’s passage was quiet and gentle. He was eloquently eulogized by his children Arnold and Anna, who both cited the memoir he completed near the end of his life, his unconditional support of their chosen paths, and peace in knowing he and their mother are together again. “I have such a beautiful life” was the grateful message he left them with. —Kay West

Ted Jensen 

LGBTQ bookstore owner, advocate

When Ted Jensen opened OutLoud! Bookstore in 1996, the queer community in Nashville didn’t have a place to gather and share resources. Unlike major coastal cities like New York and San Francisco — and smaller, progressive ones like Asheville, N.C. — Nashville didn’t have an LGBTQ community center. 

“Back then, you couldn’t go to the library and find anything, and you couldn’t go to church,” Jensen told the Scene in 2011. “It was a big crossroads. I fought with [being gay] for a long time, and was suicidal trying to find someone to say it was OK. So the outcome, the reason the store is here, is to provide a space open to everyone, so people can find themselves.”

OutLoud! was on Church Street in a location now home to nightclub WKND. Jensen and his former partner Kevin Medley ran the bookstore together, and the eclectic shop became a haven for queer Nashvillians of all stripes. The shop — and for a time, adjoining cafe — hosted performances, book clubs, vigils, festivals, community meetings and resources, such as those for people managing HIV. It became Nashville’s de facto community center and anchor for 15 years. 

In 2011, a sluggish economy, the long-suffering book industry, and the health of Jensen and Medley — both of whom were managing HIV — caused the couple to close OutLoud! 

“The world is a much different place than it was 15 years ago,” Jensen told the Scene when the bookstore closed. “There’s so many more ways to gather information and find diversity. Our mission was to help people find themselves. Provide a space that was open and accepting to all. I do believe we have helped many, and ourselves, on so many different levels, but our mission could span a lifetime and still never be finished.” 

Jensen died June 7 at his home in Hohenwald, Tenn. He was 47. —Erica Ciccarone 

Sallie McFague

Vanderbilt University Divinity School dean

In Memoriam 2019: Around the City

Sallie McFague, the first woman to oversee the Vanderbilt University Divinity School

The first woman to oversee the Vanderbilt University Divinity School, Sallie McFague influenced generations of creative theologians. McFague, who joined Vanderbilt in 1970, was a scholar focused on feminist Christian theology and on alternatives to the traditional model of God. As such, her work was considered as groundbreaking as her demeanor was charming and self-effacing.

Born in 1933 in Quincy, Mass., McFague graduated from Smith College in 1955 with a bachelor’s degree in English literature. She later graduated magna cum laude from Yale Divinity School with a Bachelor of Divinity in 1959 before earning both Master of Arts and Ph.D. degrees in theology from Yale in 1960 and 1964, respectively.

A revised version of her doctoral thesis was published in 1966 as Literature and the Christian Life. After five years on the faculty, she was named dean of the Vanderbilt Divinity School in 1975.

“Sallie McFague broke new ground in how we think about God through metaphors as feminist theology was just emerging, and the connections of religion with economics and ecology as environmental theology began to find its voice,” Emilie M. Townes, current dean of the VU Divinity School, told Vanderbilt News. “She influenced a generation of creative theologians who knew the tradition well, yet have pushed the boundaries of how we think and feel theologically to address the needs of the world and help us imagine and live into a better future for all.”

McFague died Nov. 15 in Vancouver, British Columbia. She was 86. —William Williams

Fräncille Bergquist

Inspirational Vanderbilt University professor

For 35 years, Fräncille Bergquist poured her love of languages in general — and the Spanish language in particular — into thousands of Vanderbilt students.

A worldly and warm woman, Bergquist was a Louisiana native and, perhaps predictably, started her college education at Louisiana State. But after her freshman year in Baton Rouge, her family moved to Italy, so Bergquist transferred to Spain’s University of Barcelona, her latent love of all things Spanish growing stronger and deeper during her time there. She finished her bachelor’s at Texas Tech, from which she also earned her doctorate in Spanish linguistics in 1977, after which she joined the faculty at Vanderbilt.

A recital of a person’s educational background isn’t always necessary, but in the years she spent on West End, Bergquist became known for that consuming love of Spain as well as her propensity to pepper her lectures with the colorful expressions of Louisiana and Texas.

“She was a favorite professor in our department, as students wanted to have the ‘Bergquist experience,’ ” Cynthia Wasick, a senior lecturer in Spanish and Portuguese, told the Vanderbilt News. “Her course on translation and interpretation was especially popular, and students often sought her out for advice because of her warm and personal demeanor. She also was an excellent teacher who could break down complex ideas in the classroom.”

Because of her preternatural ability to connect with students, Bergquist was an obvious choice for associate dean of academic affairs, a position that gave her a starring role in freshman orientation, starting in 1983. And when the school started the Vanderbilt-in-Spain program, Bergquist was, once again, the obvious choice as the resident director.

Bergquist’s influence at Vanderbilt will be felt for decades. She helped establish the International House and the Spanish Hall, and endowed a scholarship. But Bergquist was no ivory-tower type — her folksy expressions indicate such. She was a voracious Vanderbilt sports fan, able to recite stats and results like a seasoned sportswriter. After her retirement, she became a fixture in the local bar trivia scene. She also did tireless work for the Tennessee Foreign Language Teaching Association.

Bergquist, whose many honors included Vanderbilt’s Chancellor’s Cup, the Madison Sarratt Award for Undergraduate Teaching, the Alumni Education Award and the honor of dropping the anchor before a football game, died Nov. 17. She was 74. —J.R. Lind

Debra Johnson

Tennessee Department of Correction warden

Debra Johnson was a mother of three and grandmother of seven — and to multitudes of inmates she interacted with and supervised in her 38-year career in the Tennessee Department of Correction, a mother figure, comforter, role model and inspiration. One of those inmates was Gaile Owens, whom Johnson — then an intake officer — processed into the Tennessee State Prison for Women in 1986, comforting the terrified woman as she began a death sentence. Twenty-five years later, when Owens was paroled, Warden Johnson walked her to the gate and sent her back into the world with a hug and words of encouragement.

The week after Johnson was horrifically slain in her own home, allegedly by a prison escapee, the sanctuary of The Temple Church in Nashville was filled with prayer, praise and music, and packed with family, friends, community, law enforcement and former inmates. Those inmates respectfully and fondly referred to her as “first lady,” a woman who knew them not by their number, but by their name. —Kay West

George Carpenter

Metro parks employee who was shot

The cause of George Carpenter’s death was clear when two Shelby Golf Course colleagues discovered his body on the pavement beside his pickup truck. We still don’t know why he died. 

Carpenter was a U.S. Army veteran who started working as a part-time employee with the Metro Parks Department in 2017. He’d started as a volunteer and was well-liked among his colleagues. On Sept. 15, he was leaving work at the East Nashville golf course when he was shot in the parking lot. His colleagues heard the gunshot and came outside to find him. He died there on the ground at the age of 71.  

Metro police said his wallet was intact and his pickup truck appeared undisturbed. Months later, his killing remains unsolved. He joins numerous others whose violent deaths remain painfully open questions in the new year. —Steven Hale

Phran Galante

Humanitarian, advocate, friend

Bold. Beautiful. Brave. When news of Phran Galante’s death after a fiercely fought battle with cancer spread through the many communities of Nashville that claimed her as theirs, an alliterative cavalcade of tributes filled her Facebook page. Gregarious. Gorgeous. Giving.

Born in New York City — and a New Yorker through and through — she made Nashville her own in the 36 years she lived, led and loved here, defining her own style of hospitality with countless pizza parties, formal dinners, poolside barbecues and holiday celebrations in the homes she made with her beloved Joe, her husband of almost 30 years. She turned every outing into an adventure, whether a boozy spin on a pedal tavern down Lower Broad or a wildlife safari glamping through Africa.

On Oct. 23, hundreds squeezed into Congregation Micah to celebrate Phran’s remarkable, redoubtable and resolute life; to laugh at stories of her ever-changing hair color and love of deep-dish pizza, ice cream, soft pretzels and most inexplicably, Fireball whiskey; to marvel at her legendary chutzpah; to shed tears over moving testimony of her passionate commitment to animals, children and cancer research; and to her unrivaled ability to coerce everyone she met to give money, time and talent to those causes. And, finally, on a gorgeous fall morning, to raise mini-bottles of Fireball in tribute to her unquenchable spirit and down a shot in her honor. Phrannie, said her friend Maurice Minor, was Phun, Phabulous and Phearless. —Kay West

Tremayne Scales

Hero

On July 20, Tremayne Scales leapt into the water of Percy Priest Lake not knowing he was about to give his life to save another, but apparently willing to do so. Witnesses said he jumped in to help an 11-year-old who was struggling to swim. Scales helped get the child onto a boat south of the Hobson Pike Bridge before he disappeared underneath the water. Ten days later, a boater found his body. He was 42. —Steven Hale

Don Johnson, Stephen West and Lee Hall

Executed inmates

The state of Tennessee continued executing prisoners in 2019, joining just six other states in doing so. Since the state revived its death penalty last year, only Texas has put more prisoners to death. 

On May 16, Don Johnson was executed by lethal injection for the 1984 murder of his wife, Connie Johnson. Her daughter, Cynthia Vaughn, had reconciled with her stepfather and was a central figure in his clemency campaign. Early on in prison he’d become a Christian, and years later he became an ordained elder at Riverside Seventh Day Adventist Church in Nashville. His supporters appealed to Gov. Bill Lee’s professed faith, but the governor allowed the execution to proceed, making it the first of his tenure. Johnson sang hymns as he lay on the gurney with the lethal drugs flowing into his veins.

Stephen West wept as he sat strapped into the electric chair awaiting his execution on Aug. 15, 33 years after he was sentenced to death for the 1986 murders of Wanda Romines, 51, and her 15-year-old daughter Sheila. West maintained that while he raped the 15-year-old victim, his accomplice killed the victims. Like so many on death row, West suffered from severe mental illness. He was born in a mental institution, and prison staff treated him with powerful antipsychotic drugs until his execution. His final words were: “In the beginning, God created man. And Jesus wept. That’s all.”

On Dec. 5, Lee Hall was executed in the electric chair for the 1991 murder of his estranged girlfriend, Traci Crozier, who’d left him after he became increasingly abusive. Members of Crozier’s family, as well as members of Hall’s, were present at his execution. Hall was functionally blind and just the second blind prisoner to be executed since 1976. He’d expressed remorse for Crozier’s death since his trial, and after the execution, an attorney read a statement Hall had dictated before going to the death chamber. He asked Crozier’s family, and his own, for forgiveness. His final words: “People can learn forgiveness and love to make this world a better place.” —Steven Hale 

People Experiencing Homelessness

While advocates and officials have been working to help people experiencing homelessness, for a brief moment it looked like Metro wouldn’t open a winter overflow shelter — which in the past also provided a low-barrier alternative to private organizations. In December, Metro councilmembers approved a bill that would require the Social Services Commission to submit a cold-weather-response plan to the council each year, no doubt hoping to avoid similar situations in the future. The city still needs to press on in other areas, of course: The best way to solve homelessness and keep people healthy is to provide housing, and that’s a year-round effort. This year, 96 people from Nashville’s homeless community died. They were honored during the annual National Homeless Persons’ Memorial Day, which took place Dec. 21. Below are the names of those who passed.

James Agostino, Ruben Hernandez Aguilar, Megan Allen, Lenny Anderson, Aarronn Arms, Charles Barber, Rodney Bates Jr., John Beach, Michael Beasley, Earl “Lee” Beckenbach, Stephen P. Brummer, Joey Bryant, David Buchanan, Tiffany Burgess, Kyle Burgett, Will “Big Will” Camp, David Cantrell, Coleman Carman, Anthony Chandler, Nicholas Christian, Henry “Hank” Clinton, John Connell, Andy Culp, Joseph M.
