James H. Hanna, 96, died in Jackson-Madison County General Hospital in Jackson, TN, Monday morning March 30, 2020.

Born October 20, 1923, in Saltillo, TN, to Gradon and Jewel Stanfill Hanna, James grew up during the Depression on a farm in this river town of Saltillo. He graduated valedictorian of his high school class and went on to become one of the Greatest Generation when he joined the U.S. Navy in World War II. After the war he married Alice Montgomery in 1946 and went to college on the GI Bill, graduating with a B.S. degree in civil engineering from Mississippi State University.

James went to work for Tennessee Valley Authority, the company that brought power and light to the Tennessee valley. He began his career in a period of extensive construction of electrical transmission lines throughout Tennessee and surrounding states. James and Alice settled in Jackson where they raised their children Janice, Marcia, and Jerry. And where they attended Parkview Baptist Church. He put all his children through college. And, after a long career with TVA that took him to headquarters in Chattanooga, he retired in 1981.

After retirement, James and Alice came back home to Jackson. But before long they bought a motor home and traveled the United States and Canada. Outside the states, they traveled to visit their daughter, Marcia, in Mexico and Switzerland. Also in retirement James took up studying old land records of West Tennessee and plotting them on modern maps, making contributions to the history rooms of local libraries.

James was predeceased by his parents, and is survived by his wife Alice F. Montgomery Hanna; sister Burma Hudgins; three children Janice Hanna, Marcia (Frank) Buck, and Jerry Hanna; three grandchildren Trey (Heather) Buck, Britney (David) Gray, and Max Hanna; and three great-grandchildren Nora Gray, Laurel Buck, and Declan James Gray.

His family are grateful for all the opportunities he made possible for each of us in our lives. We toast a kind and loving man and thank him for sharing his life with us.

During these coronavirus times we are sorry that attendance is limited to immediate family. We know your best wishes are with us.

In lieu of fowers memorial donations may be made to West Tennessee Healthcare Foundation Alzheimer’s Fund.

Note

Alice Faye Montgomery Hanna, age 98 of Jackson, passed away early morning April 20, 2024 at her home in Jackson.

Alice was born on August 9, 1925 in Decaturville, Tennessee to the late Bedford and Glenna Jackson Montgomery. Nicknamed Johnny, she grew up the youngest of five sisters, graduated from Decaturville High School, and joined the ranks of "Rosie the Riveter" when she went to work at Milan Arsenal during World War II. After the war she married James (Jim) Hanna of Saltillo, Tennessee when he returned home from service in the U.S. Navy.

Alice and Jim began their lives together in Martin, Tennessee, where he went to college. They settled in Jackson where Jim worked for TVA and they raised their family Janice, Marcia and Jerry. And where they attended Parkview Baptist Church. The family especially enjoyed the great outdoors, boating on the Tennessee River and camping in the Smoky Mountains. Later in Jim's career they moved to Chattanooga, Tennessee where Alice worked for J.C. Penney. They accomplished putting all their children through college. After retirement Jim and Alice came back home to Jackson, though they didn't stay put long before they bought a motor home and traveled the U.S. and Canada. They also traveled to Mexico and Switzerland to visit their daughter Marcia. Alice enjoyed sharing her crocheting and sewing talents with "Threads of Love," attending old-time country music jams, and watching Grizzlies basketball.

In addition to her parents, Alice was preceded in death by her husband James Herman Hanna. And by her four sisters Pauline Welch, Louise Welch, Virginia Stafford, and Katherine Bolerjack. She is survived by her three children Janice Hanna, Marcia Buck (Frank), and Jerry Hanna; Three grandchildren Trey Buck (Heather), Britney Buck Gray (David), and Max Hanna. Also three great grandchildren Nora Gray, Laurel Buck, and Declan James Gray.

The family would like to express our gratitude to the caregivers of Touching Hearts who helped Mother be able to stay in her home during her last year. We are especially grateful to Shuna Starks, who brought joy into Mother's life everyday.

The family will receive friends and loved ones on Wednesday April 24, 2024 from 12-1 pm at North Chapel of George A. Smith and Sons. Funeral services will follow at 1 pm.
