My name is Deana Hodges. I am very sorry for the loss of Minnie. My parents were Herman Dillard Hodges & (Mary) Sue Roberts Hodges. I believe Minnie was my aunt and her husband (Claude) Staton Hodges was my father's brother. I remember as a young child, my family (including my brother Terry Swanson Hodges and my sister Denise Virginia Hodges) visiting Uncle Staton n Aunt Minnie in N.C. as well as Wayne n Kathy Hodges and Doug. If this is the correct Hodges family, please call or message me (509-295-1359 or deelh1964@gmail.com). I am searching for any family still around and hoping to reconnect with my roots. I live in WA state currently. Herman passed in June 2000 at the age of 77 and Sue passed in 1997 at the age of 60.
