Tressie D. Hodges, of Walker, LA, passed away at her home on Tuesday, March 15, 2022 at the age of 96. For many years she sat at the door of the Old South Jamboree welcoming the community to the show each Saturday night. When she could pull Lester away for a week or two, Tressie loved to travel and enjoyed family trips out west. When home, she enjoyed ceramics, her dolls, and loved to collect knick knacks to add to her collection. She was known for growing beautiful flowers, especially her roses. Anyone that knew her, knew she was always feeding or tending to her animals. She loved and cared for her birds, squirrels and coons and enjoyed watching her wildlife from the door or window until her last days. Tressie was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, great-great grandmother, sister, and friend to many.
