Joseph W. Hilton Jr., 79, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, April 22, 2025, with his loving family by his side. He was the loving husband of the late Judith F. (Boyd) Hilton for 54 years. Born in Providence, Joseph was the devoted son of the late Joseph W. Hilton Sr. and Lillian (Heon) Hilton.
Joseph is survived by his loving daughters Kimberly A. Moulton (Michael) and JoAnn Hilton; his adoring grandchildren TJ Kollett, Teddy Kollett, Megan Moulton, Michael Moulton and Brianna Devine; and by his sister Josephine Dionne. He is predeceased by his sister Lillian Petrichko.
Joseph was the former owner and operator of New England Auto Body & Sales for many years. He loved and was fascinated by classic cars, a passion he joyfully shared with his family. In his free time, you could find Joseph out on his boat with a line in the water. Above all, he loved and cherished his family who will miss him dearly.
Funeral services will be private at the request of his family. His burial will take place in St. Ann Cemetery where he will be reunited with his wife. To send flowers to the family or plant a tree in memory of Joseph, please visit our floral store.
