Gloria A. HillBOURBON – Gloria A. Hill, age 87, of Plymouth, formerly Bourbon, passed away Wednesday, July 7, 2021, at Miller’s Merry Manor Nursing Home in Plymouth.
Gloria was born the daughter of Raymond and Reatha Huffman Lemler on Jan. 5, 1934, in Marshall County. She was a lifetime resident of the area. She did spend a few years living in Florida and always talked about her dream of moving back there as it was her favorite state. She previously attended the Bourbon United Pentecostal Church, and although she had worked for Crystal Lake Egg Products and K-Mart in Warsaw, she completed her career by retiring from United Technologies. She was a 1953 graduate of Tippecanoe High School and was a member of Order of Eastern Star in Warsaw.
She married Edward Hill on Jan. 27, 1962, and he preceded her in death in November 1991.
Gloria loved to knit, crochet, quilt, play cards, was a cat lover of “Buddah” and “Princess,” a big Cubs fan and enjoyed her Budweiser beer. She was a “perfectionist with all she did,” and her family was a very important part of her life.
She will be missed by her children: Kim Hill, of Etna Green; Roger (Sherri) Hill, of Warsaw; her nine grandchildren; five great-grandchildren; her brother, DeWayne (Barb) Lemler, of Paris, Ill.; and bonus daughter, Rhonda Elliott.
She is preceded in death by her parents and her brother, George Lemler.
A Celebration of Life service will be held on Saturday, July 31 at 11 a.m. in Grace Fellowship Church, Tippecanoe.
Thank you to all our friends and community for your support during this difficult time.
Deaton-Clemens Funeral Home, Bourbon, is privileged to be entrusted in assisting the family with arrangements.
