HILL, Carol Clifford
Carol C. Hill, 72, of St. Augustine, died May 15, 2008, at Flagler Hospital. Mrs. Hill was a native of Detroit, Mich., and had resided in St. Augustine since 1999. She was a public school teacher and a member of St. Anastasia Catholic Church.
Survivors: Her husband of 51 years, George W. Hill, St. Augustine; daughter, Helene M. Hill-Barnes, Beaumont, Calif.; sons, Thomas J. Hill, St. Louis, Mo., Christopher W. Hill, Palm Bay, George S. Hill, Wellington, Fla.; and 13 grandchildren.
In charge: Craig Funeral Home, Crematory and Memorial Park.
We mourn the loss of Carol Clifford Hill, born January 12, 1936. She was a devoted wife of 51 years to George William Hill and a loving mother to her four children: Helene, Thomas, Christopher and George. Her 13 grandchildren remember her as "Nana." Everyone else remembers her simply as a friend. Whether she was teaching lessons in a classroom or giving "monkey bites" and "steam rolls" to her grandchildren, Carol touched us all.
Born in Detroit, Carol moved to south Florida in 1946, achieving academic honors at Miami-Jackson Senior High. She received a rare five-year music scholarship from the University of Miami where she earned a Bachelor's degree in education, later earning a Master's degree from FIU. Carol taught in the Miami-Dade County School District for more than 30 years inspiring countless students. Her innovative approach to reading education inspired new curricula from Miami to London.
In 1997, Carol retired and moved with George to St. Augustine, She was a regular at the local art galleries, unique gift shops and quaint restaurants. She was an active member of St. Anastasia Catholic Church where she attended mass and Adoration weekly.
Carol loved entertaining and would always welcome anyone in her home. She loved to play piano, watch old movies, study English history and play cards. "Deuces Clifford" enjoyed knitting blankets for everyone and writing short stories for her grandchildren.
Most of all, she celebrated life and we ask all to celebrate hers with us today. Her legacy is simple: to hold the ones you love for another second, forgive everyone who has hurt you, and live like it's heaven on earth.
A mass will be held at St. Anastasia Catholic Church on Monday, May 19 at 9 a.m.
