Sandra Kathryn Hill

Sandra was born February 25, 1952, and lived in Houston her entire life.

She attended local Catholic schools and graduated from St. Pius High School.

The early part of Sandras work life was spent in the electronics industry, however, her dream

was to work with animals. Returning to school, she earned her Veterinary Paramedic

certification in 1994. After volunteering at the Houston Zoo she was hired as a full time

employee. As a keeper in the large mammal section, she had the opportunity to be present for

the birth of a baby hippo, for which she sent out birth announcements!

From her early childhood Sandra loved fishing. She would go to the lake every chance she got.

She was also a great cook, made a mean BarBQ, Shrimp Boil or Gumbo. She loved to feed

people.

Sandra was also a movie and trivia buff and a great Card player, always winning at the Poker

Table.

Sandra was a great story teller. People who only met her once remembered her for her stories.

Sandra is survived by her loving life partner, Gail Longworth and her rescued Border Collie,

Tessa. Others include her closest cousin Dot, and many other beloved cousins and wonderful

friends.
