Lawrence Hines

Lawrence Edward Hines, age 80, of Wartburg, TN passed away peacefully surrounded by his family early Tuesday morning, April 8, 2025. He was born in Gobey, TN to Raymond and Lorene Hines on October 20, 1944. He was a follower of Jesus Christ and gave his heart and life to him. Those that knew him knew he loved traveling, the beach, keeping a lawn that could double as a golf course, and watching westerns. There was nothing in the world he loved more than his family.

Lawrence retired from his business, Tennessee Coatings, in January 2021. He was privileged to employee many of the citizens of Morgan County. It brought him joy to bring business and industry back to his home. He served in the Army as a tank operator and also served as a guard at Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary.

Lawrence and his beloved wife, Eva were generous and discrete donors to many philanthropies. They provided funds for Central Middle School to send the 6th grade class to NASA in Alabama many years. They remain faithful donors to Shriners Hospital and St. Jude Children’s Hospital. They donated the land to Roane State Community College for the Morgan County Campus in Wartburg and provided funds for many scholarships for young adults to attend.

Lawrence is preceded in death by his father Raymond Hines; mother Lorene Potter Hines; brothers Raymond Hines, Jr., Clifton Hines, Russell Hines, Jackie Hines, Wayne Hines, Ernest Hines and Robert Hines and his sister Mary Human.

He is survived by his wife Eva Mae Hines; son Scott Hines and daughter-in-law Marla Hines; granddaughters Savannah Coker and Shianne Adkisson and their spouses Christopher Coker and Forrest Adkisson, and great grandchildren Theodore Coker and Bennett Coker. He was also survived by his sisters Della Trout, Betty Ellison, and Deena Jenkins and a host of beloved family members that he thought the world of and will miss so much.

He had 3 children from a previous marriage Adwina Hass, Freddy Hines, and Sherrie Davis.

In lieu of flowers the family request donations be made to St. Jude Childrens Hospital or Shriners Hospital.

In honoring Lawrence’s wishes, the family has chosen a private service.

Schubert Funeral Home is honored to serve the family of Lawrence Edward Hines.
