Sunrise: March 1, 1942 - Sunset: April 21, 2025
Willie Lee Hobbs, 83, of Waterbury, CT, passed away in her home on Monday April 21, 2025. Willie was born on March 1, 1942, in Hobbsville, N. Carolina, to the Late Willie Mae Hobbs and Walter Hobbs Sr. Willie, who was known to everyone as "Sugarpie," was a loving, caring, compassionate woman, who at the same time, took no mess (as she would say) from no one. She made friends everywhere she went and was liked and enjoyed by all who encountered her compassionate spirit. She loved cooking, shopping, cross word puzzles/ puzzles, playing cards, making her own creations, telling jokes, laughing, and spending time with her family. She always said, "FAMILY IS ALL YOU HAVE" and tried her best to make sure we always got along. She was such a warm-hearted person, who would open her arms to all who needed her. She always had something cooking in the kitchen and had no problem feeding anyone who was hungry, always on the go, in some store, at some party or gathering, or just at her sister's house with friends/ family. Her sincere love of taking care of others is most beautiful Memory of them all.
