Addie Belle Hill

Addie Belle Hill, age 82, of Austin, passed away on April 12, 2000.

She was a lifelong resident of Austin and was a member of the Congress Avenue Baptist Church. Addie worked for many years for the State of Texas in the Comptroller's Office and was a loyal and dedicated employee who was admired by her many co-workers.

After her retirement from the state, Addie took up the hobby of oil painting and became a very accomplished artist in this craft with a number of her paintings being recognized in the art community. Addie was seen as a kindhearted and loving person by her family and the many others who knew her simply as “Mother Hill.” She will be greatly missed by everyone.
