KATHERINE LEE HILL

Passed away peacefully after a lengthy battle with Primary Progressive Aphasia on August 22, 2025, at the age of 69. Born in Brantford, Ontario, to the late Charles and Christine Hill, Katherine was the youngest of three daughters to sister, Ann (Paul), and the late Sally (John). Katherine was a loving aunt to niece, Jaqueline (Arian); nephew, Scott (Jamie); and great-aunt to Jackson, Alex, and Wyatt. Katherine had a passion for makeup, which led to a long and successful career in the beauty industry. She began as a cosmetician at the Chanel counter and went on to work as a makeup artist for CBC, Nabet 700, and IATSE 873. Her work spanned live sports shows, children's programming, corporate videos, and numerous film and television productions. Her name graced many screen credits, and she was known for her grace, professionalism, and respect for everyone she worked with - whether well-known celebrities or background performers. Her quiet wit, intelligence, integrity, and loyalty are a profound loss to all who loved her. Katherine will be remembered for her gentle spirit, her unwavering kindness, and her ability to make everyone feel seen and valued. As RuPaul once said, "Life is about using the whole box of crayons," a sentiment that beautifully captures the colorful joy and creativity she brought to those around her. The family would like to thank the doctors, nurses, and caregivers at Tansley Woods in Burlington for their compassionate care of Katherine over the past three years.
