Abigail Lemley Tewmey has been working in the funeral industry for almost 18 years. She is the 9th generation of her family to be born and raised in Robertson County, which makes her a proud member of the community.

Experiencing the loss of two important people in her life, her grandfather in 1999 and a classmate during high school, Abigail felt a call to serve in a very special area of work. As a senior in high school, she volunteered at a local funeral home to gain experience. Graduating from East Robertson High School in 2005, Abigail immediately enrolled in John A. Gupton College in Nashville where she graduated with a degree in Mortuary Science. During her training, she worked for Cole & Garrett Funeral Home in Goodlettsville and White House.

Abigail married TJ Tewmey in 2012 and currently resides in Cross Plains with their dogs, Max and Ridley. She is a member of Springfield Baptist Church and a dedicated supporter of the community. Abigail joined Family Legacy in September 2014, when they broke ground for the new funeral home in Springfield. In July of 2017, she was promoted to General Manager of Springfield Memorial Gardens, Funeral Home, and Cremation Center.

Abigail enjoys being able to live, work, and volunteer in her hometown. “My goal is to serve each family with dignity, compassion and to help them tell the story of their loved one. I want families to understand it’s ok to laugh and cry during this time. We can mourn our loss and remember good times. My job is to celebrate a life and help their loved ones plan a meaningful service that they will remember forever.”
