Johnnie Thomas Hubbard, age 85, of West Blocton, Alabama left this world for his heavenly home on Saturday, December 12, 2020 at his residence surrounded by his family. He was born in Bibb County on March 15, 1935 to Johnnie and Hudah Mae Hubbard. He married the love of his life Peggy Johnson in Columbus, MS on September 10, 1955. He was employed as a local lineman for Alabama Power for 39 years and was always a member of his local volunteer fire department. He was known to everyone as "PaPa Tom". He was a avid hunter, fisherman and gardener who shared his harvest with everyone in the community. He loved his dogs, honey bees, humming birds and Mom's Caramel Cake. Underneath his gruff exterior was a huge heart and you had to overlook his hard headed stubbornness, but everyone knew he would give you the shirt off his back. He was the president of the "I am always right club". If you knew him you loved him. He is survived by his wife of 65 years, Peggy; his children, Reneita Smitherman(David), Tommy Hubbard and Joannie Crocker(Freddy); 6 grandchildren and 9 great grandchildren; his brother in law, Howard Atchenson. He was preceded in death by his parents, 2 brothers; 1 sister; son, Scott; grandson, Shawn; son in law, Oliver Elmore. He was a lifetime member of Ada Chapel Bible Methodist Church.
A graveside service for Johnnie will be held Thursday, December 17, 2020 at 11:00 AM at Ada Chapel Cemetery, 1800 N. Scottsville Rd, West Blocton, AL 35184.
