Tania was a sweet, special child who had a smile for everyone she met. She loved to go shopping and enjoyed "styling" as she called it. Drawing, enjoying music, watching scary movies were favorite past times. It was known among her family and friends that she could out perform any one in the dancing arena. She had a caring countenance and she loved everyone she met. She will be missed by many.

She was preceded in death by her brother, Scott Wayne Hodge; father, Sammy Wayne Hodge.

Survivors include her mother, Mary L. Matthews Chisholm, and her step-father Frankie; step-brothers, Mark Chisholm (Maria) and Chris Chisholm; aunts, Betty Pipkins (Don) and Robin Mills (Clay); uncle, Charles Matthews (Maria) and a host  of cousins.

Pallbearers will be Chris Chisholm, Josh Chisholm, Clay Mills, Kolten James, Kevin Norris, and Craig Deakle.

The family wishes to acknowledge with grateful appreciation Tania caretakers, whom she dearly loved during her time at Jasper General Nursing Home.

Special music will be performed by Mrs. Wendy Stockman.
