She was 85 when she died on Dec. 11 after a long battle with cancer.

Sue Taylor Warren Hill was born November 3, 1928, in Greenbrier, Tenn., where she graduated from high school. She attended Tennessee Tech University, where she met returning Army Air Corps aviation cadet James Foutch Hill. They were married on spring break, March 20, 1948.

She spent 31 years traveling and serving as a military wife supporting her husband and the military community through charity work with the Army Community Service Organization and Officers Wives Clubs. 

Mrs. Hill served as an American Red Cross volunteer at McDonald Army Hospital at Ft. Eustis, and raised her two teenaged sons during the 1960s while her husband served in Vietnam.

Their final assignment brought them to Ft. McPherson, in Atlanta, where they retired and settled in Roswell. Mrs. Hill continued to work as a volunteer while she and her husband were active members of the Army's 24th Infantry Division Association supporting veterans and their families.

She and her husband were long-time members of Northbrook UMC. 

A committal ceremony will be at Georgia National Cemetery in Canton following the service.
