Obituary
Torrie Anne Hickerson

Old Hickory, Tennessee

Age 56.
Died 10/7/2021.

Torrie Anne (Platts) Hickerson was born November 24, 1964 in Lancaster, California. Torrie had several careers over her lifetime, of which being a mother made her most proud. The career that fulfilled her the most was an LPN. She worked in several fields of nursing but found her passion in correctional nursing. Those who were blessed to know Torrie knew what it meant to be bear hugged in the best way and hardly ever saw her without her beautiful smile. Torrie spent the last several years battling a series of medical issues that she took in stride. Unfortunately, Torrie’s body grew too tired, and she passed on October 7, 2021 in Durham, NC surrounded by her family. Torrie is survived by both of her parents Constance (Mike) Wall and Ricky (Mary Ellen) Platts, her two brothers Steve (Denise) Platts and Ricky (Diana) Platts, half-siblings Megan Schroeder and Tyler (Brittany) Platts, her 3 children Kristina (Scott) McGuire, Kayla (B) Bauernfeind, and Kory (Laura) Hickerson. Torrie was a grandmother to 4 beautiful grandchildren: Brooklyn, Braden, Aylah, and Aubrie. Torrie was preceded in death by her granddaughter Brooklyn. There will be a celebration of life for Torrie at 1:00 PM on November 7th, 2021 in Woodbury, TN. Additional information will be provided via Torrie's Facebook page. Thank you all for your outpouring of love.

For additional information or for service details, please reach out to the family directly.

The same laws that apply to the big corporate funeral homes also apply to the modest independently owned firms like ours. All crematories in North Carolina, regardless of who owns them, are inspected annually by the state and must adhere to the same rules and laws.
