Riddle joins 'Graham Star' staff

Tallulah – Hope Riddle has been named the new office manager for The Graham Star.

She replaces the departing Kim Cravey, who joined the staff in November. Cravey and her husband Todd are re-locating to suburban Chattanooga. 

“Kim Cravey brought the upbeat personality and skill-set necessary to be a terrific office manager,” said Kevin Hensley, publisher/editor of The Graham Star. “We’re certainly going to miss her presence in the office, but in the transition, Hope Riddle has filled the role nicely and will help continue our initiative to provide customers with both a friendly face and knowledgeable staff that can answer any question.”

A 2012 graduate of Robbinsville High School, Riddle is a lifelong resident of Graham County. She obtained several nursing certificates from Tri-County Community College: NA-1, NA-2, EMT and CPR. Riddle’s hobbies include walking, crafts and spending time with her three-year-old toy poodle, Dixie. 

Her parents are Bobby and Rachel Riddle and she is the oldest of three children, as Hope is followed by brother B.J. and sister Kristy.

“This has been exciting,” Riddle said of her new role. “I have felt right at home.”
