HUFF, MARYANA - age 88, of Johnson City, TN, with great sadness the family announces the passing on Sunday, July 31, 2011. Maryana was born December 25, 1922 in Knoxville, Tennessee to the late J.

Raising five children as a mother and housewife, working for Pet Dairy, assisting her mother in publishing a novel, volunteering for civic activities, oil painting, music, and church activities are among the many hobbies she enjoyed throughout her life.

Maryana was a member of the Presbyterian faith and attended both Princeton Presbyterian and First Presbyterian Church of Johnson City following their move to the city in 1960. Survived by: sons David (and Sally) Huff of Knoxville, TN, Steven Huff of Atlanta, GA, Sam Allen (and Cheryl) Huff of Collinsville, MS, and Pete (and Julie) Huff of Jonesbourgh, TN; her loving daughter Cathy Huff who cared for Maryana in her later years; grandsons Ryne (and Britney) Huff of Fayetteville, NC, Tommy (and Christy) Huff of Johnson City, TN, and Josh Huff of Johnson City; great granddaughter Madison Huff; and numerous cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends.
