Janet Binkley Tabor passed away on Tuesday, August 22, 2023. Born September 29, 1933, in the years of The Great Depression, though she would tell you they never were hungry. She attributed that fact to the farm and the hard work of her parents.
Many may know and remember her strong will and impressive work ethic. Her children were the center of her life. Her career began in Nashville, working in the music industry with Southern Plastics, Ernie’s Record Mart and Mid-South Record Pressing.
In 1973 she returned to Cheatham County where she helped manage a construction company, Ashland City Skating Rink, and eventually her own thriving real estate business, Janet Tabor Realtors, where she retired at 84.
She was preceded in death by the father she adored, Ernest Alexander Binkley, her mother, Ruby Irene Binkley, her daughter, Emily Kathleen Eads; her daughter-in-law, Janet Myers Eads, and son-in-law, Dwight Lewis, three grandchildren; Michael Sells, James Weekley, and Stacey Greer; and great-grandchild, Kaitlyn Jade Sells. Also, by her brother, Phillip Binkley. T
