December 28, 1916 — February 28, 2015
Hattie Ila Hodge (Thurmond)
Age 98, passed away on Saturday, February 28, 2015, in her home surrounded by her daughters Dorothy and Barbara, and great-granddaughter Katie, at 650 W. Hickory, in Roseburg, OR.
She was born on December 28, 1916, in Dyer County, Lane, TN, to parents Lexie Steven Thurmond and Ada Anadus Journey-Thurmond.
Hattie was married on June 3, 1939, in Blytheville, AR.
Hattie lived through difficult times but always found a way to provide for her family. She lived through the Great Depression, and two World Wars. Some of the earliest memories of her two daughters were of their Mom picking cotton, while they sat on the cotton sack that she was filling. Hattie and Kenneth made the decision to come to Oregon, in September of 1951, to find work. The family arrived on a Sunday, and Kenneth started work Monday at Martin Box in Oakland, OR. Hattie worked until she retired from Mercy Hospital in approximately 1974. Hattie was preceded in death by her husband Kenneth; parents Steve and Ada; four sisters Helen, Laverne, Sue, and Dolores; one brother Olen; son in-law Roger Hutchings; and two grandchildren Terry and Dennis Fugate.
She is survived by daughters Dorothy Ann Hutchings of Roseburg, OR, and Barbara Lee Fugate with husband Jack of Bandon, OR; and sisters Lexie McDonald of Livermore, ME, and Betty Holland of Roseburg, OR; grandchildren, Len Fugate of Bandon, OR, Rene Keller of Topeka, KS, Barry and Brian Hutchings of Sutherlin, OR, and Brett Hutchings of Gresham, OR; and numerous great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews and cousins.
Hattie was a member of the Church of Christ and attended the Garden Valley Church of Christ in Roseburg.
Graveside services to be held later this week for the family.
