Heather Hill dies at age 99

Heather Davidson Hill of Bedford, a former 45-year resident of Lincoln, died on February 27 at the age of 99. She was the beloved wife for 62 years of the late Craig C. Hill, who died in 2019.

Born in Alberta, Canada, Heather and her late sister Patricia were raised by their widowed mother during the era of the Dust Bowl in Saskatchewan. She is a graduate of the University of Toronto and Radcliffe’s Management Training School. Prior to her marriage, she was director of personnel at New England Deaconess Hospital. Over the years, she also served on the board of directors of the deCordova Museum, as a gallery guide at the MFA, and as the coordinator of the Lincoln Public Schools Elective Program. 

Hill was a world traveler and veteran book club member, but happiest when entertaining and being entertained by her expansive circle of friends in Lincoln and beyond. She is survived by her daughter, Amanda Hill and husband Kevin of Lincoln; son Matthew Hill and wife Lisa of Conway; son Tom and wife Emmanuelle of Costa Rica; grandchildren Malcolm, Vix, Hannah, Hardy, Montgomery and Calvin; and her niece and nephew, Laurel and Robert Gillespie. Family members will gather privately for Heather’s burial service at Lincoln Cemetery.
