Deborah Lynn Hill

Deborah (Debbie) Lynn Hill, 62 of Wailuku, Hawaii passed away surrounded by family on December 27, 2024, at Maui Memorial Medical Center. She was born on March 2, 1962, under the US flag at the the Station Hospital, USNS, Subic Bay, Zambales, Philippines.

According to her wishes, she will be cremated and there will not be a visitation or memorial service at this time. There will be a private family service and spreading of the ashes in the future. Her memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved her. For her many friends and family members, we invite you to share a memory or photo of her on the Tribute Wall at www.normansmortuary.com.

Debbie grew up on Maui and in Douglass, Kansas. She attended H.P. Baldwin High School in Wailuku and took some college courses. Later, she worked on Maui at the DMV, for Budget Car Rental, and as a mason with the Mason’s Union.

She met her partner Christopher Krieg on Maui. In 1989, Jeremy Hill was born of their union. A few years later, Christopher returned to California and passed away in 1994. Debbie did her best to provide for Jeremy.

Debbie had strong faith, remarkable resiliency, and a positive attitude during her decade-long trial with cancer. She often said she could feel the prayers being offered on her behalf. She was involved for many years with the Department of Education as a fierce advocate for children on the Autism Spectrum. She was an accomplished photographer with favorite subjects being flowers and insects. She had a passion for Hawaiian genealogy, culture, and a special bond with the family home and the Keanae Peninsula.

She was predeceased by her partner, Chrisopher Krieg, and her stepfather, Marc Bagnall of Canada. She is survived by her loving son, Jeremy Hill of Wailuku; her mother, Anna (Smith) Bagnall of Kahului; her father, Clark Hill, Sr. (Heidi) of Kansas; her twin sister, Dianna Puahala (Jonathan) of Makawao; her brother, Clark Hill, Jr. of Kula; her sister, Doreen Bouchard (Frank) of New Hampshire; and her half-sister, Tawnya Balmoja of Kahului; nieces, Mele Bouchard (Tyler Wagner) of New Hampshire, and Jade Bagnall of Kahului; nephews Joshua Bouchard (Michaela) of Virginia, Jordan Puahala (Leeanza Akuna) of Makawao, Hunter Hill of Kula, and Clark Hill, III. of Kula; a great niece and two great nephews; and numerous aunties, uncles, and cousins in Hawaii and on the mainland.

For contributions and sympathy cards, we will set up a Memorial Fund in Debbie’s memory to help Jeremy and with final expenses. Please make checks out to Clark Hill, write “In Memory of Debbie Hill” on the description line and send to Clark Hill, PO Box 330460, Kahului, HI 96733.
