Maureen Gail Hillman

Maureen was a member of the Alamo Heights High School Class of 1973 and attended Tulane and Incarnate Word. She loved to travel and made it part of her career as the owner of The Conference Group, a travel agency. She later worked in sales at Cavender Cadillac.

Maureen had a rare talent for organizing fabulous events and bringing people together. A social butterfly, she loved a good gathering and any chance to catch up with old friends or make new ones. She enjoyed working for the San Antonio Chapter of Young Presidents Organization (YPO), where she served as administrator for many years. She generously gave her time and talents to many event committees. As president of the San Antonio Symphony League, she welcomed young women and their families to the Symphony Belle program and its annual ball. She was also a steadfast supporter of the Battle of Flowers and the Junior League of San Antonio.

Maureen loved her family dearly. She never forgot a birthday or a special occasion and had a way of making the people she loved feel remembered and celebrated.

Maureen was preceded in death by her parents, Robert Cole Hillman and Barbara Braden Kavanagh, and her sister, Diane Hillman Schwartz. She is survived by her stepmother, Marsha Hillman, and her siblings Braden Hillman, Elaine Hillman Muellich (George), and Amy Hillman (Jason). She also leaves behind her stepsisters Shelley and Tracy, her nephew Christopher Smith, her niece Kathryn Fernandez-Espinosa, her nephew James Schwartz, and her cousins Tim, Erin, and Hope. Her many great-nieces and great-nephews include Leonardo, Antonio, Callum, Bennett, Mckenna, Hannah, and Maverick.

Arrangements will be limited to a small graveside service at St. Mary’s Catholic Cemetery, 1035 Dakota St. (near S. Palmetto Avenue) on December 12, 2026, at 11 a.m.

In lieu of flowers, the family encourages donations in Maureen’s memory to the San Antonio Symphony League (https://www.symphonyleaguesa.org/), or the Battle of Flowers Association (https://battleofflowers.org/).
