She is survived by her soul mate and husband of 42 years, Roger Chilton Hill Sr.; daughters, Elizabeth Renee Ojeda, Stacey Lynn Hill and fiancé, Erick Schlather, and son, John Michael Hill and wife, Caroline; step-children, Roger and Jan Hill, Eric Hill, Ellen and Bruce Hill, Cari and Russell Hill, Chris Hill and Rudy Choperena; grandchildren, Emily and Jarrett Carr, Sarah and Hill Ojeda, Sarah and Mark Manny, Marian Hill, Martita Hill, Michelle Yetman, Drew Schlather, Ellie Schlather, Joseph Hill, Michael Hill, Jake Hill, Stephen Horton, Landon and Stephen Lanier, Sally and Roger Hill, Carlie Hill, Megan Boland, Betsy Hill, Katie and David Turpin, Russell Hill, Sarah Beth Hill, and Thomas Hill; great-grandchildren, Sicily, Paisley and Drake Carr, Hicks and Christopher Lanier, Cuatro and Ellie Hill, Lillie Frances Boland, and Jane Frances Manny due November 11th. 2011; her caretakers, Matilde Martinez, Martha and Albert Galvan, and Elsa Salinas and her faithful companions...her Malteses, Lizzie and Daisy.

She was a graduate of Sudan High School and then went on to Texas Tech University where she majored in Interior Design. She and her adoring husband had a passion for traveling. They have been all over the world and they have passed their passion on to their family. She loved golf and playing cards at the San Antonio Country Club.

The love she had for her family was pure and unconditional. On any given day she could be found at lunch with her family at Twin Sisters or the Cheesecake Factory at North Star Mall. Nanny was known for her generous heart.

Her greatest joy was her husband and family. You could always count on her for anything and everything...you name it and she had your back. She was full of surprises whether it be for her family, friends, or someone she just met. Her greatest gift was the gift of unconditional love.

She loved having family and friends over to the home she shared with her husband for wonderful parties, family dinners, and swimming. She never met a stranger. She was pure joy, the love of my Pop's life!! Her advice was always good, firm, and fair. You knew she would be honest. She was her family's biggest cheerleader, fan, and a source of constant support.

She helped to found the local affiliation of National Public Radio with countless hours of volunteer work. She was an active member of the Battle of Flowers Association, Ladies Golf Association at the San Antonio Country Club, and tireless volunteer for the Valero Texas Open for 30 years. Her favorite charity was St. Jude's Children's Hospital.
