Mrs. Hill was a charter and supportive active member of Canoe Creek Baptist Church, where she was always willing to do whatever task was at hand. Among many things, she played piano and taught Sunday School. To know her was to love her as she always put others before herself. She was recognized in her community as being a caregiver to anyone in need. Her hobbies included gardening, canning, collecting antiques, playing piano and singing.
Mrs. Hill was preceded in death by her parents, Houston Thomas and Nora New Henderson; brothers, Hugh Gale, Jerry Wayne and Jimmy Dale.
Left to cherish her memory is her loving husband of 65 years, Cleo F. Hill; children, Susan M. Howle, Michael F. Hill and Barry M. (Jennifer) Hill; 10 grandchildren, Jonathan, Steven, Haley, Whitley, Heston, David, Morgan, Houston, Hudson and LaNora; 15 great grandchildren; sisters, Kathleen Meadows, (McDonough, Ga) and Gloria Jean (Bearden) Mintz, (Glencoe) and numerous nieces and nephews.
Pallbearers will be Heston Clough, Hudson Howle, Houston Hill, DavId Hill, Steven Hill and Jonathan Hill.
The family would like to extend a special thanks to the staff of Kindred Hospice Care, especially Ashley, Lindy, Maddie and Kristin.
