HILL, Violet Mary Elizabeth

March 24, 1926 – August 8, 2019


On August 8, 2019, Violet was welcomed into God’s Garden.

She was predeceased by her parents, Matti and Mary Hill, her brother-in-law, Albert Keenan and her nephew, Ray Kennedy.

Violet will be deeply missed by her sister, Ruth Keenan and her nieces and their families.

Violet worked as a medical secretary for Dr. D.W. Thompson for over 40 years. She dedicated her life to helping others. She became her mother’s caregiver at the age of 19 for five years. She looked after her father in his final years in her thirties. Violet was a devoted caregiver to her sister, Ruth, for 13 years after she had retired. There were also numerous friends throughout the years that she would help during times of illness or life’s struggles.

In lieu of flowers, her family is asking that people take the time to help and show care and compassion to those less fortunate in memory of Violet.

Sincere thanks to the wonderful staff and volunteers at the Dr. Bob Kemp Hospice as well as the caring staff at the Juravinski Hospital. Donations to Dr. Bob Kemp Hospice or Hamilton Health Sciences would be greatly appreciated by the family.

At Violet’s request, cremation has taken place.

A Celebration of Life service will be arranged at a later date.

And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices, God is pleased.
