Lula Hodge was loved by everyone, and she loved everyone.  She was truly a Saint in every sense of the word.  She gave relentlessly, even when she did not have the money to do so.  She was a wonderful wife, mother, sister, daughter, and best friend.  Most importantly, she absolutely loved her family, her church, and her God, who is now holding her hand.

Survivors are her daughter Patricia H. Walker (Jeff) of Shelby, NC; sons Arnold K. Hodge, Craig B. Hodge (Natalee) both of Clover, SC and Dale W. Hodge of Blacksburg, SC; sister Susie Dianne Whitworth; grandchildren Aaron Hodge, Bobby Hodge (Nikki), Craig David Hodge (Orlaith), William Brandon Hodge (Allison), Landon Bryant Hodge, Aedan Clarke, Nolan Clarke, Jamin Walker, and Johnathan Walker (Chasity); and great grandchildren Erin Hodge, Nevaeh Beard, Karma Hodge, Katie Hodge, Brayden Hodge, Colton Hodge, Easton Hodge, Gideon Hodge, Layla Walker, and Jaden Walker.
