Ms. Hill can be best remembered in the words of her granddaughter, Kristen: “Nana was a one of a kind lady. Anyone who knew her knew this. She told you exactly what was on her mind, there was never a dull moment with her, and she loved abundantly all her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Our Nana used to love to dance when she was able, and we are sure that is exactly what she is doing right now! We will miss her more than she would like for us to! All our love, Our Nana!”.
