Gene Hill Obituary
Born January 16, 1950, in Murray, Gene was the son of the late Amos Hill and Mary Pauline (Thompson) Hill. In his early years, Gene worked at Benton Auto Supply, spent a few years as a truck driver, and later joined the parts department at Purdom Motors, before dedicating nearly 34 years to serving west Kentucky as a sales representative for Boone's Laundry and Dry Cleaners. He made countless friends along those service routes, and he will be greatly missed by them all. After Boone's, he continued working for Murray Cleaners until health challenges required him to step away. Gene was an avid motorcycle enthusiast and a member of Pleasant Valley Church of Christ.
Those left to cherish memories of Gene include his children, Greg (Elli) Hill of Hazel, KY, Selena (Chad) Alderman of Benton, KY, Alicia Woods and Angella Woods, both of Murray; his much-loved grandchildren - who affectionately called him "G-Man" - Taylor Lovett, Alyssa Brooks, Catherine Sands, Ciarra Alderman, Makayla Alderman, James Pugh, Jr., Amos Hill, Lindsay Hill, Haley Pugh, and Emily Pugh; six great-grandchildren; and his brother, Ray (Debbie) Hill of New Concord, KY.
In addition to his parents, Gene was preceded in death by his fiancé, Tressa Vogle, and his little sister, Evonna Hill.
