“We shared everything<br />
over the years,” Betty said.<br />
“She could make me laugh<br />
when I was the most unhappy<br />
or miserable. Rooster<br />
will be missed by a lot<br />
of people.”<br />
According to a report<br />
filed by <strong>Monroe</strong> <strong>County</strong><br />
Sheriff’s Deputy Chase<br />
Nipper, a neighbor identified<br />
as Perry Philpott,<br />
spotted smoke coming<br />
from Dailey’s Church<br />
Road home. He hurried<br />
to the residence and found<br />
Rooster standing in the<br />
doorway of her burning<br />
house and wrapping her in<br />
his jacket carried her to his<br />
vehicle, where he called<br />
dialed 911.<br />
Nipper said he arrived<br />
around 12:30 p.m., finding<br />
the home fully engulfed in<br />
flames. Several men were<br />
fighting the fire with<br />
water buckets and they directed<br />
Nipper to<br />
Philpott’s truck, where he<br />
found Dailey with burns<br />
to her arms, chest, head,<br />
and to the right side of her<br />
body.<br />
Nipper said Dailey<br />
communicated with him,<br />
giving him her name and<br />
age. An ambulance with<br />
<strong>Monroe</strong> <strong>County</strong> EMS arrived<br />
and began to treat<br />
Dailey’s burns.<br />
“Rooster was the captain<br />
in charge of all our<br />
cousin gang, the Garretts<br />
and McDaniels,” said<br />

Linda Garrett-Hensley,<br />
also of Madisonville. “She<br />
gave us orders and we<br />
obeyed, and we loved her.<br />
We were double cousins,<br />
and she lived with us at<br />
times when we were<br />
younger. That’s our precious<br />
bond. To know her<br />
was to love her.”<br />
Investigators on the fire<br />
scene did not determine<br />
the cause or the origin of<br />
the fire. Nipper said paramedics<br />
treated and then<br />
transported Dailey to<br />
McGee-Tyson Airport in<br />
Alcoa, where she was<br />
flown to Nashville.<br />
The homeowner, Bill<br />
Dailey, a son, said he had<br />
not been at home at the<br />
time of the fire.<br />
“I grew up with Bill, but<br />
I remember Rooster serv-<br />
ing us lunch in primary<br />
school,” Larry Mason of<br />
Mason’s Furniture told the<br />
BUZZ. “As kids we would<br />
call her ‘Rooster’ because<br />
we thought it was funny<br />
that she had that name.<br />
She would cut up and kid<br />
with us, but we knew<br />
