Addie Mae Hight

Addie Mae Hight, affectionately known as Addie, passed away on April 12, 2024, at the age of 61 in Lufkin, Texas, surrounded by the love and warmth of her family. Born on September 6, 1962, in Louisville, Mississippi, Addie was a beacon of light and love to all who knew her.

Addie was the cherished daughter of the late Bertie Mae and Wyatt Hunter Hight, and the beloved sister of the late Wyatt Hunter "Hugo" Hight Jr. Her presence will be profoundly missed, but her spirit will continue to live on through her family. She played a pivotal role in the lives of her niece Paige Cheyenne Hight and Paige's sister, Sarah King, whom she helped raise with the same love and devotion as if they were her own. Addie was also a doting aunt to her great-niece and great-nephews, Willow, Ezekiel, and Christiano Jr. Her family was her pride and joy, and she extended her love to her Uncle Cecil Phillips and many cousins, who will remember her fondly.

A proud graduate of Hudson High School's class of 1982, Addie carried the lessons and friendships from her school years throughout her life. Her education was a foundation upon which she built a life of service, kindness, and faith.

Addie's love for her family was matched only by her devotion to her faith. She was a regular at her local church, where she found great comfort and community. Her commitment to her faith was evident in the way she lived her life, always striving to be a reflection of the love and grace she found in her beliefs.

Those who knew Addie would describe her as thoughtful, faith-filled, and selfless. She had an innate ability to sense the needs of others and would go out of her way to provide support, comfort, or a listening ear. Her actions were guided by a deep-seated belief in the importance of kindness and the impact it could have on the world.

Addie's interests extended beyond the walls of the church and into the lives of her family. She relished in the simple pleasures of life, like playing with her great-nieces and great-nephews, whose laughter and joy were music to her ears. These moments of connection and play were the times when Addie's love shone the brightest.

As we say goodbye to Addie Mae Hight, we celebrate a life lived with purpose and love. She was a woman who not only preached the values of faith and selflessness but embodied them in every action she took. Her memory will continue to inspire those who were fortunate enough to have known her, and her legacy will be carried on through the lives of her family and all who were touched by her generous spirit.

Addie's life will be honored in a service that reflects the warmth and compassion she shared with others. As we gather to remember her, we will hold tight to the memories of her kindness, her unwavering faith, and the selfless love she gave so freely.

In the hearts of those she leaves behind, Addie Mae Hight will forever be remembered as a guiding light—a source of strength, love, and unwavering faith. Her journey on earth may have ended, but her influence will continue to ripple through the lives of many, like the gentle waves of a boundless sea. Rest in peace, our dear Addie, until we meet again.
