Obituary: Annie Allison Caldwell Byrd died 7, 2015.

Born 3, 1924, she was the daughter of Meredith and Ellen Thomas Caldwell, and granddaughter of James E. and May Winston Caldwell and John W. Thomas Jr. and his wife Dillie Duncan. She attended Parmer School, Ward Belmont School (class of 1942), and graduated from Vanderbilt University in three years. She was on the swim team and was a member of the Kappa Alpha Theta Sorority. She was a navigator for the Civil Air Patrol during WWII. She married Benjamin Franklin Byrd, Jr. in 1950 on the grounds of the family home at Belle Meade Plantation in the presence of family and friends with music provided by the Fisk Jubilee Singers. Dr. Byrd was quoted as saying “She was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen.” Even with six children at home, she supported her husband in his national and international medical interests, accompanying him on his American Cancer Society outreach visits to Russia during a warming of relations, sailing the Nile on Anwar Sadat’s barge in Egypt, and walking the Great Wall of China.

She was a member of the Junior League of Nashville, the Vanderbilt Aid Society, and the Monteagle School Assembly. She volunteered for the Middle Tennessee Pony Club while her children were active. She had the Caldwell sense of humor and dry wit. She also had a keen eye for the Southern Decorative Arts, which she shared with her children and grandchildren. She enjoyed her last years with a great host of friends, her sister, and her dinner group at Richland Place.

Mrs. Byrd is survived by her sister, Shirley Caldwell-Patterson, and by her six children: Benjamin Franklin Byrd, III (Mary Holiday), Barney Duncan Byrd (Elena Camacho), Damon Winston Byrd (Susan Maloney), Andrew Wayne Byrd (Marianne Menefee), Evelyn Byrd Blackmon (Stephen), and J. W. Thomas Byrd (Donna Callahan). She was loved by eleven grandchildren who knew her as “Mother Bear”: Marianne Byrd Sabis (Christopher), Valere Byrd Fulwider (Benjamin), Andrew Wayne Byrd, Jr. (Ashley Williams), Allison Byrd Freeman (Scott), Ellen Beverly Byrd, Caroline Lindsey Byrd, Benjamin Franklin Byrd IV, Meredith Marie Byrd, James E. Caldwell Byrd, Madeleine Elizabeth Byrd, and Ainsley Rachel Willow (Blue) Byrd. She also had six great -grandchildren: William Franklin Fulwider, Audrey Claire Fulwider, Robert Edward Sabis, John Andrew Sabis, Thomas Hamilton Freeman, and Eloise Sheppard Byrd. Having a big heart, she never met a stray child or cat she didn’t take up in her arms, including her most recent companion, Catso. In lieu of flowers please make contributions to a charity of your choice.

Pallbearers are Stephen E. Blackmon, Andrew Wayne Byrd, Jr., Christopher C. Sabis, Benjamin C. Fulwider, Benjamin F. Byrd, Jr., James E. Byrd, and Scott Freeman.
