Autumn McClure

The funeral for 20-year-old Soddy Daisy, who died in a bizarre accident, will take place on Saturday.

Autumn RyAnn McClure was riding in a vehicle driven by her boyfriend in Ringgold on Wednesday morning when a brake caliper flew off the vehicle in front of them, smashing through the windshield and striking Ms. McClure.

The lifelong Soddy Daisy resident was the runner-up of the 2022 graduating class at Soddy Daisy High School. She held an associate degree from Chattanooga State Community College and was currently enrolled in the graphic design program there.

Her family said, “Autumn loved the beach and animals, especially her pets. She enjoyed going to concerts, paddling and hiking.

“Autumn had such a sweet soul and touched so many people. She was bright and caring and so incredibly smart. She had a warmth about her that will continue to touch hearts even after she is gone. There are not nearly enough words to describe the beauty of our girl.”

Survivors are her mother, Kimberly Annette Brock (Rusty); twin sister, Ivy McClure; sister, Simone Matherly (Steve); brother, Collin Le; brother, Gage Brock; aunt, Allie Vincelli (Ben); grandfather, Morris McClure; the love of her life, Tyler Nunley; nieces, Teagan and Delilah Matherly, Caylin, Chloe and Daleyza and Kimberly Le and extended family.

The family will receive friends on Saturday from 4 to 8 p.m. at the funeral home.

Arrangements are by the Williamson and Sons Funeral Home, 8852 Dayton Pike, Soddy Daisy.
