The matriarch of a wonderful family, Hattie touched the lives of her big family in remarkable ways by showing pride in her children and grandchildren for their careers and school goals and instilling the value of hard work.

Her hobbies included watching westerns, doing word searches, reading, embroidering, collecting Native American dolls, and spending time with her friends. She never passed up the opportunity for a good lunch! She attended Full Gospel church in Prince Frederick.

Hattie worked at the Calvert County hospital, Safeway, and the IGA for 18 years.

She will be dearly missed and remembered for her quick wit.
