Nancy Jeanne Hill

Nancy J. Hill, adopted daughter of the late George and Eunice Dana, died on November 2, 2016 at the Givens Estates Health Center. Nancy was born February 2, 1926 in Minneapolis, MN, but grew up in Highland Park, IL. She graduated from Highland Park High School in 1944 and Lindenwood College in 1948. After several years of employment, she met and married her husband, Roger, and they began to celebrate 62 years of togetherness. They traveled the world, saw countless plays, square danced, golfed and volunteered. Nancy was a volunteer extraordinaire: Red Cross, United Way, Interfaith Chapel Board, Church Women United, numerous committees at Givens Estates and untold hours spent on behalf of her church. All of these efforts were performed with enthusiasm and unfailing good humor. Her quick wit often enlivened dull meetings. In addition to her husband Roger, Nancy is survived by two sons, Christopher and his wife Wendy, Dana and his wife Elizabeth; five grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. Her extended family includes two sisters-in-law and their families. A Service of Remembrance will be held at 10:30 AM on Friday, November 25, 2016 in the Norma F. Pulliam Chapel at Givens Estates. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be sent to GERCSA, in care of Givens Estates, 2360 Sweeten Creek Road, Asheville, NC 28803 or to Central United Methodist Church, 27 Church Street, Asheville, NC 28801. Groce Funeral Home at Lake Julian is assisting the family.
