Hannah Diane Whitt
Hannah Diane Whitt, 25, of Chesapeake, OH took the hand of Jesus on Thursday, January 29, 2026. Hannah was born on March 19, 2000, in Huntington WV, to Angela Whitfield and the late Wade Whitt. She meant so much to so many, a loving daughter, granddaughter, sister, niece, aunt, and friend.
She was preceded in death by her father, Wade Whitt, cousin Kris Mazurik, great-grandma and great-grandpa Ramey, and boyfriend Riley Dunlap.
She is survived by her mother Angie Whitfield, stepfather Joe Whitfield, sister Katelyn Cox, brothers Joseph (Alesha), Stephen (Jenna), and Shane (Julia), and many other family members including grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews. In addition to her family, Hannah was blessed to have a special GOD-sent sister, Stevee Williams. It was a rare occasion to see Hannah and no Stevee. Also, she had precious lifelong friendships with Kate Auvil, Breanna Maynard, Laykin Hurt, and Maddie Smith.
Hannah lived a life of service to others, working as a caregiver for many years. She also loved music and aspired to become a music therapist to help others in their time of need. She began many tales with “you remember that one time at band camp?” or “mom, do you remember that girl I cheered with?” Her favorite subject in school was band, and she loved playing the clarinet and saxophone.
When she was little, a good portion of her time was spent with her babydoll, Cackoo and her imaginary friend (Lillian) who got the blame for things that Hannah did. She also loved riding four wheelers, and playing in the creek beds with cousins, and singing passionately for everyone to hear.
Hannah was an animal lover and children gravitated to her. She was a proud aunt of Sylus Wade, McKenna Jo, Maesyn, Cole, Tobey, and Lexi. She would often tell stories of the time they spent together and all the adorable stories they told her. They made many memories together baking cookies, going on trips, goofing off, and building with Legos. They will forever be her babies. Hannah also loved her cat Janie and her dog Holly Bolly.
Her smile and laugh were contagious, and she gave them freely to anyone that was blessed to know her. She was very family oriented and loved to travel. Whether going to the beaches or the mountains, she would gladly sing Country Roads to anyone who would listen. She was pure SUNSHINE to her mommy from the day she was born and always will be.
She was an accomplished young woman, with her best achievement being a child of God. She was a 2018 graduate of Spring Valley High School and took pride in being the baby of the family.
Hannah began growing in her faith at a young age, singing in church and going on mission trips with Christ Temple Church and Crosspoint Community Youth Group. She was always quick to help others, even strangers.
Hannah had a huge family. Her mom and stepdad meant the world to her, often making her dinner, teaching her to fish, and playing piano while she sang. Joe was always ready to do anything to help her, and she knew she could always count on them for comfort and support. Her big sister, Katie, was her best friend and her biggest fan. She spent many nights at Mamaw and Papaw Napier’s house having her favorite dinner, chicken and dumplings, or visiting Mamaw and Papaw Mayo to talk about things happening in their lives.
