Mrs. Hill was my 1st Grade teacher at Oates...basically my introduction to formal education. She encouraged curiosity and a love of learning that has stayed with me all my life. Every thought of her over the years has generated a smile. Such a kind and gifted teacher. Rest in peace and jou, Mrs. Hill!

Deepest sympathy for your loss. I grew up in the Church of God and knew her for many years, from teaching in the West Orange school district but also by her teaching as a Sunday school teacher. She was a wonderful friend to my grandmother Maurine Strickland who also attended the Church of God. Prayers to all the family members and friends.
