Judith Ann Hill

On October 20, 2026, Judith “Judi” Ann Hill entered the arms of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, surrounded by the children she loved more than life itself. While our hearts are broken, we rejoice in knowing she is finally Home, reunited with her beloved husband, Robert Hill, the love of her life. We can only imagine the two of them running hand in hand through the fields of Heaven, praising their Savior together forevermore.

To know Judi was to know love. She had a remarkable gift for making everyone feel seen, valued, and deeply loved. Her laughter could brighten the darkest day, her embrace could make any burden feel lighter, and her kindness knew no limits. She gave without expecting anything in return and never truly realized how many lives she touched.

For more than 20 years, Judi devoted herself to nursing, caring for others with the same compassion she poured into her family. But her greatest earthly joy was being a mother and, later, becoming Yaya. She loved her children and grandchildren beyond measure, always showing up with open arms, endless grace, and a heart full of Jesus.

A beautiful reflection of the love and grace that defined her life is found in these words:

“I’m not a perfect mom. Just a mom who has a heart for Jesus. Just a mom who loves her kids with all her heart and who gets up and tries every day. I am not meant to be perfect, I’m meant to rely on the One who is. Thankfully, I have a Savior who covers me with grace every single day.”

Above all, Judi loved Jesus. Her faith was not simply something she spoke about; it was something she lived. If there is one question those who knew her will forever remember, it is:

“What can I pray for you today?”

And if she could leave this world with one final message, we know exactly what it would be:

“Let me tell you about my Jesus.”

Her legacy lives on in every life she touched, every prayer she prayed, and every heart she helped lead closer to Christ.

Her faith has become sight, her earthly race is finished, and her eternity with Jesus has just begun.

Judi leaves behind the family she considered her greatest earthly blessing: her son, Aaron Hill, his wife, Jenny, and their children, Beckett and Brooks; her daughter, Rachel Hill, her husband, Richard Testa, and their daughter, Bekah Ann; and her daughter, Jordan Hill, along with her beloved cats, Olly and River. She is also survived by her sister, Elaine Johnson, along with many cherished extended family members, dear friends, and countless others whose lives were forever touched by her kindness, prayers, and unwavering love.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Robert Hill, the love of her life, with whom she is now joyfully reunited in the presence of their Lord and Savior.

And to her precious grandchildren, Bekah Ann, Beckett, and Brooks, we imagine Yaya leaving one last message of love:

“My sweet babies, Heaven is beautiful, and I am healed. There is no more pain here, only joy, love, and the presence of Jesus. I will always be your Yaya, and the love we share will never end.”

Follow Jesus all the days of your lives, and never be afraid to tell others about His love. Let your faith shine through the way you live, the way you love, and the way you care for others. Love life fully, cherish the little moments, laugh often, be kind, and make the most of every day God gives you. Life is a precious gift, so live it with courage, gratitude, joy, and purpose.

Forever loved. Forever missed. Forever our Mom and Yaya.

Until we meet again, in the fields of Heaven.
