Jimmie Lee Akins – age 80 of Loudon passed away Sunday, May 9, 2021, surrounded by his family. Jim retired from Loudon Hickory Products following 50 years of service. After his retirement, Jim couldn't sit still; he started a lawn mowing service to keep him busy. Jim was an avid card player; he enjoyed shooting pool and drinking his Dr. Pepper; but what Jim is known for most in his family, is his love for making cornbread.
