Erin Hill Obituary

Erin Hill passed away May 9th at the age of 57. Born in Red Bank, New Jersey she moved to Florida in 1990 with her husband Michael to raise their family. Erin was a successful business owner who operated her dog grooming shop for most of her long career. A true animal lover she often said Dog was just God spelled backwards. Her favorite pastimes were watching her husband sing on stage, spending time with her family, and playing with her grandchildren.

She is survived by her daughter Jamie(Adam) Facciobene, her son Michael Hill, her grandchildren Kayla, Leo, and Apollo Facciobene, her sister Carolyn Raniero-Reid(Shawn Reid), her brother John(Meike) Boyle, her brother Peter(Beverly) Boyle, and her lifelong best friend Mary Jane Nirella(Jamie Snider). Erin was met in heaven by her parents Peter and Carol Boyle, her sister Robin See, and her beloved husband of 28 years, Michael Hill.

I dont know where to start. From watching me when I was little, making us be dog lovers....taking me to my first concert. (Black Sabbath)... sleigh riding at the cow pasture. Lazy days on a Florida beach on our day off... to dancing with mom at night (mom knew how to party)... to going through things together and
Knowing she was a bit older. ( like when did she get her first grey hair, so Id would know when to expect it or ya better take care about f me when Im old ).I miss u more each day. Never thought Id be writing this first. Wish it was reverse. ❤❤❤U.

Erin was my first and oldest friend. It was love at first sight in1966 and I followed her everywhere. She was the brave one and created many adventures throughout our childhood, leg shaving and makeup in puberty, fierce loyalty, love for animals and old people, parenthood and marriage, she led the way.She married my husbands lifelong best friend and I always felt that was the natural order of the universe. We were even related by marriage after our husbands siblings wed.Her first baby was the practice baby for me & my husband.I have so many memories of fun and laughs and she was the best 311 buddy. Shes gone too soon and Ill forget about my own right arm before I ever forget her.
