Obituary of Everett Hodge

Everett Hodge, 97, passed in his sleep in Tucson, Arizona on January 7, 2021.  He was born in Bloomington, Indiana in 1923 to Emmett and Mary Hodge. He was our hero in many ways and served proudly in the Army during WWII participating in D-Day Utah Beach and in the Battle of the Rhine.  

 

He is survived by his wife Goldie, his step-daughter Alisa and son-in-law Bruce Master. He is also survived by his beloved sister Wanda's family of Joe Stephens in Georgia and Judy Morrow in North Carolina.

   

We were blessed to have this wonderful, good-natured, kind man in our family for 42 years!  He and his wife's favorate song was "The Twelfth of Never" by Johnny Mathis.  He was a hardworking, devoted family man with car bumper stickers "Happiness is being a family" and "I love my cat" for Thumper his large white cat.  

 

Everett had a sweet sense of humor and chuckled every time he said "Don't rush, but hurry every chance you get!"  So don't rush, but hurry up to heaven Everett to enjoy everlasting peace with the LORD, AMEN!
