In Loving Memory of Judi Lane Hite

Judi Lane Hite, age 80, passed away on April 5th, 2024, after a brief but difficult battle with cancer. Born on May 30, 1943 in Fayetteville, NC, she left this earth surrounded by loved ones after spending the preceding months closely with her family and friends. We are grateful to know that she is comfortable and at peace.

All those who were fortunate enough to know Judi will remember her sensitivity, wonder at the world, and unending compassion to those in need. Her delight in the little things and interminable curiosity serve as a blueprint to those who survive her and a reminder that life can be bright and simple in the darkest of times. The soft nature of her spirit contrasted by her witty, humorous exterior will be missed by all and remembered fondly. Throughout times of hardship and adversity, her truest colors of persistence and love shone brightest to those around her. Judi’s journey touched the lives of many, leaving behind cherished memories and a strong legacy amongst family, friends, and loved ones.

Judi is predeceased by her parents, Arnold and Mildred Stone; her siblings, Joyce Faye, Betty, and Larry; and her sons Steve and Donnie. She will be forever remembered and loved by her surviving sons Michael, Scott, and Casey Sr.; grandchildren, Madison, Grainger, Alec, Lane, Zane, Rylan, Casey Jr., and Piper; and countless friends.

May Judi rest in eternal peace, free from pain, and may her memory continue to bring comfort to those who mourn her passing. Judi looked forward to seeing her deceased sons and siblings again, and our family takes comfort in knowing they are reunited in eternity.

In accordance with Judi’s requests, a Celebration of Life will be held in her honor as opposed to traditional funeral services. We welcome all loved ones and friends to join as we rejoice in remembrance of her life at one of her favorite places. The ceremony will be held at 438 Flat Top Mountain Road (Hite Lytle Lane), Fairview NC 28730 on May 19th at 3pm.

As an alternative to flowers, you may make donations to St. Judes Children’s Research Hospital, Planned Parenthood, or one of the many funds dedicated to aiding Native American tribes in her honor.
