Kathleen Hill Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Nov. 16, 2023.
Kathleen E. (Foley) Hill, aged 88, passed away on November 11, 2023, surrounded by her family at the Pine Ridge Villas of Shelby.

Kathy was born on March 23, 1935, in Pleasant Ridge, Michigan, to her parents, Raymond and Ethyle Foley. On October 4, 1958, she married the love of her life, William (Bill) Hill, who preceded her in June 2016.

She is survived by her children: Debra (Mark) Land, Shaun (Shirley) Hill, and Richard (Katrina) Hill, as well as her sister, Sharon Williams. Kathy was a cherished grandmother to Justin (Karista) Hill, Lauren Rossi, Renee Hill, Erin (Chase) Chalker, April Hill Gunkle, and Mary Hill. She is now reunited with her brothers Kenneth, Donald, Garl, and sister Sandy O'Neal, who have passed away.

Kathy graduated from Hazel Park High School and later worked at Consumers Power Company in Royal Oak, Michigan. Later, she worked at Roosevelt Elementary School in Hazel Park, Michigan for 27 years, serving as a Learning Center Aide, making a positive impact on the lives of many students. Kathy raised her children in Hazel Park before retiring to Lapeer, Michigan for 23 years.

Kathy had a zest for life and enjoyed attending Pine Ridge Villas social events, where she relished meeting new people and playing bingo. Her warm and welcoming nature made her beloved by all who had the privilege of knowing her.

A memorial service to celebrate Kathy's life is scheduled for December 9th at 11:00 AM at the Pine Ridge Villas of Shelby, where family and friends will come together to honor her memory.

Kathy's legacy of love, kindness, and joy will forever be cherished, and she will be deeply missed by those whose lives she touched.

I am a second cousin to Kathleen. I met her later in life through my father.
I always enjoyed visiting with Bill and Kathleen in their home in Lapeer. Kathleen enjoyed decorating her home and had several bird feeders scattered around the yard. We would discuss which birds we both had and laughed about the pesky Squirrels.
I will miss the visits and phone calls.

I was privileged to visit with Kathy at her home with my mother Karen and to host her at mine. I loved her stories and enthusiasm for life. She took such pride in her home and her family. Please accept my deepest condolences for your loss.
