Jane Arlene (Clark) Hill, 84, passed away May 22, 2019. The daughter of Irene Clark, Jane was born April 22, 1935, and was a lifelong resident of Aberdeen. She was the youngest of five siblings. After attending Aberdeen High School, Jane married John “Jack” Carter Hill Jr. of Grayland. In June they would have celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary. Jack still resides at their family home in Central Park.
Jane loved reading and expanding her vocabulary. Her mastery of the English language could often be found in witty letters to the editor of the (Aberdeen) Daily World. She also shared her witicism with bowling teams around the Harbor. Jane’s sense of humor added another level of fun to the game.
Jane is survived by her brother, Joe “Bud” Clark of Portland; her four sons: Terry (Londa) Hill of Aberdeen, Scott (Leslie) Hill of Port Angeles, Shawn (Christine) Hill of Montesano, and Darren Hill of Aberdeen. She is also survived by her granddaughter Laura (Dustin) Jones of Aberdeen, grandson Evan Hill (Michelle Leach) of Neah Bay, granddaughters Leena (Tony) Perez of Clovis, New Mexico, Christina Park (John Braum) of Denver, Colorado, Autumn Martin (Devon Horn) of Port Angeles and great-grandchildren, Tristan, Gabriel, Leena and Emery Perez of Clovis, New Mexico and Carlee Horn of Port Angeles. Jane was preceded in death by her twin infant sons, Mark and Matthew; her mother Irene Clark; and her three sisters Cleo Rozmaryn, Virginia “Sis” Alsman, and Miriam Solway.
