MUNCIE - Frank D. Hill passed away peacefully at Westminster the evening of March 15, 2026. His wife and daughters gathered around him for his passing.

He was born on January 3, 1944, in Stearns, Kentucky, to Elmer and Lola (Crabtree) Hill. Frank was the youngest son of seven children and moved to Muncie with his family as a young boy of 6 years old. Frank was a graduate of Muncie Central High School, class of 1964 and a proud Bearcat. He loved Bearcat basketball. He retired from General Motors. He primarily worked in skilled trades both in Muncie and Kokomo. He earned additional income through rental properties. This connected him with less fortunate individuals in the community which he had a heart for.

In Frank's younger years, he enjoyed playing slow pitch softball and basketball. Later in life, he frequently could be found on Elks golf course. Along with his wife of 58 years, he enjoyed watching his 7 grandchildren play sports and other activities.

Frank was a fighter and loved deeply. He cherished his family. He was preceded in death by his parents; brothers Donald Hill, Bobby Hill and Dorman Hill; sisters Charlene Mays and Geraldine Cox.
