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.

Guestbook

  1. I miss seeing Judy come in with her bright vibrant smile. So excited to see me and tell me her agenda for the day, which often included going to see her horse and new animals that were born at the farm. She would give me the biggest hug, and when I looked into her eyes, I felt nothing but trust and love. I cant bare to take her out of my phone, it reads “Judy Hite, My BFF.” And she was!
    She got me hooked on dunkon donut lattes and mini bagels. She made me laugh at all of her purchases from QVC, and she listened to me, and I listened to her.
    Every morning when the sun comes up, I sit on my balcony, raise up my arms and say I love you Judy.
    That sun comes up and smiles on me and that’s my Judy.

  2. Judi will always hold a special place in my heart! I lost my mom suddenly in 2010 when I was only 28 and Judi came into my life shortly after. She always went out of her way to make sure that I was okay. She was there when I had my first kiddo and brought me her homemade meatballs that were always super delicious! She was there every Easter with some jellybeans and chocolate eggs. She was really the definition of selfless! I even once witnessed her stopping on the side of the road to give the homeless some coats which made me love her even more.
    Judi was ALWAYS there when I needed an ear to listen or a shoulder to cry on and she could always make me laugh with her humorous personality. I’ll never know why she took me under her wing like she did but she really became my 2nd mom and I miss her dearly already 💔.
    My memories of her will always be treasured and although I am sad and would do anything for a Judi hug, I know that she is dancing with the angels, free from pain and sadness. I know how much she missed her lost loved ones and my heart feels happy knowing she is now reunited.

    I love you dearly my Judi

  3. I cherish so many special memories of Judi. I’m so thankful for our recent conversations, never dreaming they would be our last. I was blessed to have Judi in my life all those many years ago. Everyone who knows Judi has witnessed her deep love and devotion to her family and friends. I am sending lots of love and prayers for her family. I love you Judi and know you are rejoicing with all of your family and friends who passed before you.
