Elizabeth Hill Obituary
She was born in Ladysmith, Wisc., on May 15, 1946, a daughter of Laurance and Jean (Smith) McCabe. Elizabeth graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire with a Bachelor of Science. She worked as a schoolteacher for many years and retired from Derry Village School.
Elizabeth was an extremely creative woman and spent her time with ceramics, painting, stained glass, gardening and most importantly, quilting. She was an award-winning quilter and belonged to four different guilds in various states. She enjoyed many other activities such as playing cards, Mahjong, reading, and being a member of the M'sters Miata Club.
Elizabeth was an avid traveler. She would travel many months out of the year with her husband, Greg. Together they enjoyed various locations such as Florida, Hawaii, the Outer Banks, Europe, Australia, along with various cruise destinations and a recent trip to Disney with the grandkids.
Family was her greatest love. She loved to spend time with her grandkids and even started teaching the oldest how to sew. She made a point to stay up to date with both her immediate and extended family members. In the past year, she spent at least one day a week with the grandkids. These days were known as G&P day. In addition to these special days she always looked forward to the weekly family dinner night at her daughter's house where she shared wine, laughter, stories and recipes with everyone. She was full of life and will be remembered as a loving and caring woman, friend, Gramma, mother and wife.
She is survived by her beloved husband of 50 years, Gregory Hill; daughter, Laura Noble and husband J.J. Noble; grandson, Clayton Noble; granddaughter, Lillian Noble; son, James Hill; sister-in-law, Mary Jo Lloyd; brother-in-law, Jeffrey Hill and many nieces, nephews, cousins and extended family members.
SERVICES: Following cremation, private services will be held by the family at a later date.

I just recently learned of Betty´s passing after attending my high school reunion last week in Ladysmith, Wi. I am so deeply saddened and shocked to learn that she is no longer with us. She and I grew up together as neighbors in Ladysmith. We were close for so many years until we both went our separate ways after high school and college. Our families and her extended family were great friends of ours and we all celebrated holidays together for many years. I treasure those memories. The last we time I spoke with her was about 15 years ago after I moved to a city nearby her Brother-in-Law, Chuck, in Arizona. We both vowed to keep in touch, but it didn´t happen and I always wondered how she was doing. I will cherish the years we spent together. She was a great friend and such a dynamic person. My deepest condolences to the family.

I was saddened to hear that Betty died. I think of her every Christmas when I take out the lovely quilted placemats that she gave me many years ago as my Secret Santa at Derry Village School. With deepest sympathy.
