Annie Marie Hiatt Hodge

Annie Marie Ramia Hiatt Hodge, age 92, of Leeds, Alabama, passed away peacefully Sunday, October 15, 2017, while surrounded by her loved ones. She was a pillar of unconditional love and support for her family throughout her life. Everyone was a welcomed guest at her table. Visitors often left with a bucket of her wonderful chocolate chip cookies or some other homemade sweet treat to take home. Her beautiful smile and vitality for life will be missed by all she touched. The Meridian, Mississippi native was preceded in death by her parents, Joseph and Inez Ramia, one sister, Roselie Perryman, and three brothers, John Ramia, Louis Ramia, and George Ramia. She retired from Amsouth Bank, now Regions. She was an active member of Holy Infant of Prague Catholic Church in Trussville, Alabama. She also enjoyed socializing with her friends in the Rosary Makers Club, Ladies Sodality, Cahaba Valley Garden Club, and Bible Study. We are sure Angel Annie is watching over us today.

She is survived by her five children Rex Hiatt (Brenda), Bill Hiatt (Janet), Judy Atchison (Richard), Sandra McKell (Mickey), and Joe Hiatt (Susie).
