She was born April 24, 1917, in Charleston, W.Va., to the late Mary Elizabeth "Molly" Fitzwater and Lorenza Perry "Lo" Cummings. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Woodrow W. Hill, in 1982.

Her children would like to thank the staffs of Woodland Oaks, Morning Pointe, King's Daughters Home and Hospice for all the tireless hours they spent taking excellent care of our mother over the past seven years. Thanks to Dr. Michele Bagley for being our mother's doctor and a great family friend.
