Gina Sue Gilliland Hill

Our loving daughter, sister, mother, aunt, grandmother and great grandmother Gina passed away on November 3, 2023, at the age of 70. Gina was born to Faye and Floyd Gilliland on July 22, 1953, in Tchula, Mississippi. After several moves during her childhood, Paducah, Kentucky was the place she always called home. The third of 4 siblings she was the first to graduate and achieve a diploma from Paducah Tilghman High School in 1971. In 1976 she met Franklin Jairus Hill, her soon to be husband. Gina moved to Utah with Frank where they were married on March 22, 1978 and were sealed in the Ogden LDS temple on March 24, 1979. Gina was blessed with five children: Brent Edward(1971), Joshua Daniel(1979), Legena Olea(1980), Christopher Michael(1986) and Anna Kaye(1988) and became the legal guardian of her granddaughter, Arianna(2006), in 2007. Gina had a most brilliant mind. An avid reader/writer, she was known to author anything from brief thoughts to incredible life stories. Sparked from a stuffed cat, she concepted and illustrated a children’s book character and spent the latter portion of her life working to bring her creation to life. She had been somewhat successful at this already as most everyone that knew Gina was well acquainted with “Purrdy.” Gina was very proud of her southern heritage. No matter where you saw her, she would welcome you in with a glass of iced tea and offer her homemade Kentucky fried chicken and a slice of pecan pie. She enjoyed driving backroads in her pickup truck, dashboard covered with dandelions, singing along with everything from John Denver to Def Leppard. Gina is survived by her four children: Brent(Kendra), Joshua(Kayti), Christopher, Anna(Alex Maclean), 11 grandchildren, 4 great grandchildren and all y’all nieces and nephews. She is preceded in death by her husband Franklin Jairus Hill. Daughter Legena Olea Hill. Siblings: Richard Gilliland, Lisa Bland, Lana Gilliland. Cousin Rose Anderson. Parents and Grandparents.
