The duty of the executrix is to carry out the wishes of the testator. What does the will say about the house? Was the house in the deceased's name only or were there other names on the deed? In that case, the house passes by the deed, not the will.
In any event, you cannot sell the house if the testatrix did not authorize you to do so in the will without going to court and proposing the sale, giving the terms, and letting the judge approve it. The daughters may oppose the sale, of course.

Would the executrix of her mother's Will receive the JTWRS property she currently lives in after forcing her mom to move to a rental and incur large mortgage refinancing and CC debt in Tennessee?
The issue of her being the executrix is not relevant in regards to the property ownership. Real property titled as Joint Tenants (or Tenancy) With Rights Of Survivorship (JTWRS) is not subject to probate procedure and passes directly to the surviving owners. The sister/executrix had no legal grounds to force the mother out of the jointly owned home and should be held legally accountable for the action. Likewise, the person holding the mortgage is only relevant regarding the repayment of the debt and has no bearing on the ownership of the property itself, that is always determined by the wording of a General Warranty Deed or title
