She was born to Walter and Ruth DeMiller on June 12, 1929, in Mobile, Alabama. She graduated from Mary Washington College in Fredericksburg, Virginia. Though she lived in the cold snowy Yankee north for over 65 years, she was still a southerner at heart.

She was a member of Holy Trinity Anglican Parish in Hillsdale Michigan for 30 years, a proud member of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), a Welcome Wagon hostess for over 25 years, a member of the Steuben County Republican Women’s Club, Precinct Committee Chairperson, a member of Angola Business and Professional Women, a founding member of Steuben County Genealogical Society, a Cub Scout and Girl Scout leader, and a 60-year resident on Lake James.
She was preceded in death by her parents Walter and Ruth DeMiller, her brother Walter DeMiller Jr., and her former spouse William Hill Jr.
