Hills, Hazel, who passed away at the age of 94, was born in Warren, Maine April 11, 1905 to Fred and Alice Kalloch Kenniston. She was one of seven children... three girls and four boys. She grew up in Warren, but moved to Providence, RI as a teenager. After attending schools in that state, she moved back to Warren, worked as a secretary at the Farm Bureau and married Virgil Hills. Together they managed a prosperous farm and dairy, as well as the Warren Telephone Company. Joyce, their daughter, married Vivian Hutchings from Norway, Maine. Her daughter, her nieces and nephews, and her many friends would have described her as a remarkable woman. Her many interests and hobbies, her sense of humor and positive attitude kept her in unusually good health, both physically and mentally, and endeared her to her family. She used her keen mind and memory the last few years by reviewing her diary that she kept all through her life to write down all the interesting anecdotes of the Kenniston/Kalloch family. These notes are being used to prepare a history of the family. Her multi-interest began when she was exposed to the best of music and theater in Providence and continued her whole life. The many years she spent as a farmer's wife lead her to being food's leader in the Extension Service, cooking, sewing, tailoring and every type of stitchery. The latter included bargello, Swedish weaving, crewel, knitting and crocheting. She even started a baby afghan the day she became ill. Other hobbies included an earring collection, scrapbooks, stamp collecting, gardening and pen pals. Hazel was an active member of the Warren Baptist Church, the Mission Circle and King's Daughters, and was working on updating the church history. An interest in family and genealogy and bookkeeping led her to her positions as Secretary/ Treasurer for the Kalloch and Hills family reunions. Although she kept herself physically fit, she had heart surgery in her late 80's and died from a stroke on Christmas day, December 25, 1999. She was predeceased by her husband Virgil and her second husband, Warren, Hills., by Joyce Hills Hutches and Mary deBoer. (I miss Hazel and her occasional phone calls. Graveside services were held May13, 2000 at the Starrett Cemetery in Warren. She will be sorely missed at our reunions. - Evelyn). (From the Kalloch Family Newsletter, 2000). (Photo page).
