               Randall Frank Trammel was born in Lebanon TN to Christine Granstaff Trammel and Earl Trammel. He was a Lebanon Police officer for more than 30 years and retired as Chief. Randy was a man of strong convictions and was not timid about sharing them. His dry wit and soft southern drawl delivered words of common sense and justice in a very clear fashion. Randy thought deeply and enjoyed sparking conversation and laughter with his latest gem. Some topics, however, could only be served through a larger audience, in a Letter to the Editor. He enjoyed working on cars, motorcycles, ATVs and gardening.

               Mr. Trammel is survived by his wife of 50 years, Betty Bush Trammel; children: Ryan (Christy) Trammel, Sean (Jennifer) Trammel, and Betty (Chad) Williams; grandchildren: Ellie Trammel, Abby Evitts, Mallory (Corey) Meadows, Hunter Doyle, Jonathan and Jackson Williams; siblings: Anne (Bobby) Holley, Duane (Gayle) Trammel, and Christy (Bill) Cotton; and numerous nieces and nephews. He is preceded in death by parents Christine and Earl Trammel and grandparents Jessie and Frank Granstaff and Burnett Puckett and Frank Trammel.

               The family extends their deepest gratitude to the DCI Clinic in Mt. Juliet for their taking such good care of him. In lieu of flowers, please make Memorial Donations to New Leash on Life. Arrangements by Sellars Funeral Home, Lebanon TN, 615.444.9393.
