Hattie was a loving person with a very contagious smile. She never met a stranger and was always willing to help everyone.  Her wonderful sense of humor was a special gift that produced laughter no matter where she was. She saw many changes in her lifetime and could tell you stories about almost anything you wanted to know.  A fish fry with her family was always a great treat for her. She was a true blessing and a real inspiration to everyone.  She touched many hearts and will be fondly remembered by all.

Hattie was a member of Highland Baptist Church in Molino for 81 years.  She was the oldest and one of the longest standing members of the church. She was also a member of the Sunshine Sunday School Class at Highland. The Specialty Center of Pensacola had been her home for the last six years.  She was a very special resident there and was loved deeply by everyone.

Visitation will be held at Highland Baptist Church in Molino on Wednesday, April 29 at 10:00 a.m. with funeral services following at 11:00 a.m.  Pastor Brian Calhoun will be officiating.

    I have known Ms. Hattie as long as I can remember and I am 82. I have often thought about the many things she experienced over her lifetime, good and bad. Thinking back to the tragic death of her sister, up to the recent death of her only child, who was her heart. Even in the tough times she stayed positive and had a smile to share! I will miss your sweet smile and kiss on the cheek Ms. Hattie! My deepest sympathy to her family.
