Mrs. Willie Mae Hatton was born February 23, 1933 in Eudora, Arkansas to Scott Black and Charlotte James. She had one brother, Levi Vinner, and one sister, Lucy Mae Toney, who both preceded her in death. She was also preceded in death by her second husband, David Hatton, daughter Barbara Woods, son Andrew Toney, Jr., and great granddaughter LaKiayh Woods

Willie Mae accepted Christ at an early age and was a member of Sweet Home Baptist Church in Wilmot, Arkansas for many years until she moved to Kansas City, Missouri where she joined with Victorious Life Church.

Willie Mae lived a full and vibrant life. She attended school in Eudora, Arkansas. She married Andrew Toney, Sr. and to this union eight (8) children were born who she loved unconditionally. Willie Mae later married David Hatton and moved to Wilmot, Arkansas where she lived and worked as a housekeeper until she retired and moved to Kansas City, Missouri in 2002.

Willie Mae enjoyed attending church services, spending time with her children and grandchildren, and visiting with other family and friends. She also loved to shop and enjoyed fishing with her granddaughter Juanita Wright, as well as gardening, and planting flowers in the Spring with her youngest son (her baby) Wendell Toney.

Her home was easily identifiable in the spring and summer by the white picket fence and the beautiful flowers growing in her yard. She was a sports fan and enjoyed watching the Kansas City Royals, Kansas City Chiefs, and Kansas Jayhawks basketball. Whenever you saw her at home or out and about, she was always stylishly dressed, had her hair done, and of course had matching purse and shoes.
