Sue Ann Hiatt

September 24, 1937 — May 4, 2026

Peterstown, WV

Sue Ann Hiatt, 88, passed away at Giles Carilion Hospital in Pearisburg, Virginia.

Sue Ann was born Sue Ann Stone in Logan, West Virginia, to Myrtle Mae Nicely Stone and Philip Malen Stone. She grew up in Logan and held dear the memories and stories from her childhood there. She was preceded in death by her parents; her sisters, Vivian (Charlie) Smith, Phyllis (Al) Connor, and Marlene (Ronnie) Rennie; and her brother, Philip Malen “Buck” Stone.

After high school, Sue Ann moved to Washington, D.C., where she worked for the FBI as a fingerprint clerk. She found great meaning in her work and was especially proud of the times she helped identify a criminal match through the fingerprint database. Following her marriage, Sue Ann devoted much of her life to caring for her home and family while living in several cities across the United States. She will be remembered for her kind heart, her love for her family, and the stories and memories she shared with those closest to her.

Sue Ann is survived by her three daughters, Stacy Ann Walls-Browning and her husband, Brian, of Peterstown, West Virginia; Karen Neala Dempsey of Tupelo, Mississippi; and Kimberly Deanna Walls of St. Louis, Missouri. She is also survived by her grandson, Michael Jerrod Dudding and his wife, Fayana, of Southaven, Mississippi; two great-grandchildren, Emma Grace Dudding and Leland Xavier Dudding; several nieces; one nephew; and her special grandniece, Courtney Adkins, of Charleston, West Virginia. Sue Ann had a special love for dogs and leaves behind her beloved dog, Oreo, who brought her comfort and companionship.

Our family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Frances Bishop and Stephanie Winslow- Messer for their friendship, kindness, and care.
