Mildred Edith Hill, 94, of Stony Creek, peacefully passed away Aug. 9, 2023. “Edie” was born Feb. 8, 1929 in New Sharon, Maine, to Mildred L. (Neal) and John R. Works.

She is predeceased by her husband John F. Hill, who passed in 2002; and five brothers: James, Leon, Milton “Bud,” John, and Melvin Works, all of Maine. Edith is survived by her three children, Shirley (Wayne) Collins of Westbrook, Janet (Michael) Demers of New Hampshire, and John Hill (Timothy Young) of New York; and four grandchildren and their families: Jeffrey (Merrill) and sons, Denali and Birch, Matthew (Melanie) and son Jack and Timothy (Kate) and daughters, Eleanor, Penelope, and Hazel Collins, all of Connecticut, and Tiffany Demers (Alex) Dutton of Colorado. She is also survived by her sister, Marion “Etta” Suits of Florida; and a sister-in-law, Louise Works of Maine.

Edie led an active life, even into her later years. She enjoyed cross-country skiing, birding, traveling, and reading; and she was a talented seamstress and crafter. For many years, she was an active member of the Stony Creek Congregational Church.
