Edna Hite Obituary
Hermitage, TN
Age 93, passed away September 7, 2015.
Edna was born in Kentucky and married in Russellville, Kentucky before moving to live and work in the Donelson, Tennessee area. She continued a nursing career by caring for the mentally disadvantaged at Clover Bottom Developmental Center in an outpatient clinic capacity. She changed careers as arthritis in her hands became problematic, and became a cashier and eventual manager of the Hermitage Carmike Cinemas for many years before retiring.
She is preceded in death by her husband, W.J. Hite, Jr., and is survived by her sons, Bill Hite and Rick Hite, wife Susan; daughter, Helen Hite Haase, husband, Steve. Edna has four grandchildren: Randy Hite, wife Carol Ann; Brian Hite and Heather Roberts; Catherine Pietsch, husband Matt; and Michael Hite, wife Cindy; and 8 great-grandchildren.
Visitation with the family will be from 4 p.m. until 7 p.m. Wednesday at Hermitage Funeral Home, and 1 hour prior to the service at the church. A Funeral Mass will be held 10 a.m. Thursday, September 10, 2015 at St. Stephen Catholic Community, with Father Patrick Kibby. Burial will follow in the Hermitage Memorial Gardens.

Dear Rick and all the Hite family,
I am so sorry about your Mom. I will keep all of you in my prayers. I still fondly remember our time working together at Baltz Brothers Elm Hill Meats in the summer of 1971. Again, deepest sympathy. --Dan Darst

Ms Hite was so good to me! She took a chance on me and hired me when I was 16. I asked her every week for a month if she was hiring and she finally gave in. She helped me start my work career and my life as an adult. She was always there for me. She was my mentor, my friend and my boss and she will always have a special place in my heart .
