She was a founding member of Wesley Heights Methodist Church in Tullahoma.
Her passions were flowers, shopping, watching the Braves, cooking, baking, and visiting the beach. She cherished spending time with her daughters, son-in-laws, grandsons, and all the many friendships she built throughout her life.
In addition to her parents, Mrs. Hannah was also preceded in death by three brothers, Haskel, Alfred, and Raymond White.
