Theodore G. (Ted) Hills, 98, originally of Mill Hall, Pa., passed away peacefully on June 28, 2023 at his home in Nippenose Valley Village, Oval, Pa.
Ted was born in Mill Hall to Mary (Neal) Hills and Marvin Hills on June 26, 1925. He graduated from the "old" Mill Hall High School in 1943. He served in the European Theatre of WWII 8th Air Force, a Gunner and member of the 489th Bomb Group. Ted worked most of his career at Piper Aircraft, until they closed.
He was an avid hunter and fisherman and was an active member of the NRA. For many years, he shot with the Mill Hall Rifle Team.
Ted and his wife, Carol, enjoyed traveling and camping together. In addition to tending his plants, he loved to watch and feed wild birds. He enjoyed reading, especially historical fiction, and spent many hours at the Ross Library researching his family genealogy.
He is survived by his wife, Carol Boob Hills, of Oval; and children, Bruce Hills, Joseph (Stephanie) Hills, Jan Hills Johnson (Jim Klukkert) and Jill (Mark) Stevenson; a stepson, Thomas (Dawn) Brown; brothers, Donald Hills and Joseph (Sharon) Hills; and a sister, Ann Patrice Hills.
We wanted to mention all of his grandchildren, Jessica, Adrian, Phillip, Aza, Anna, Emma, Abigail, Sarah and Seth. Plus, numerous great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews who called him their favorite, as well as several close friends with memories of their camp stories.
Ted was preceded in death by his parents; a son, Jon Hills; a brother, Daniel Hills; a grandson, Shawn Michael Hills; and a stepson, Lewis Brown.
Ted enjoyed all people and will be sadly missed by all who knew him.
Services will be at the convenience of the family. Interment will be in the Cedar Hill Cemetery.
