Dotta Lou Hill

Dotta Lou Hill, age 90, of Saint Peters, Missouri passed away on Saturday, June 8, 2024 in Union, Missouri. She was born in Sikeston, Missouri on April 11, 1934 to Leslie and Margaret Bishop (nee Matthews).

Dotta (Dottie)Lou Hill was a dynamic force of life and anyone who knew her would agree with that statement without hesitation. If you wanted to get something done that no one else could get done, or someone said could not be done just ask Dottie and the odds were very great that she would find a way to get it done.

Dottie and her husband of Bill of 53 years had an active and dynamic life. They ran several businesses together, she also had over 25 year career with Walmart which included managing both Jewelry Departments and Fabric Departments. After retirement they enjoyed time with their family and were active for many years at Oakridge Baptist Church.

After Dottie’s husband Bill passed in 2006 she continued to keep herself active with her craft skills decorating every theme holiday for St Williams II Senior Living in Darden Prairie where she was a resident for 10 years.

Dottie was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother and friend. She knew the Lord and has gone on to her reward. She will be missed by many but never forgotten and will live on in our memories and hearts until we see her in heaven.

(Dennis) Phillips; her grandchildren, Justin (Jennifer) Turnbaugh, Kensey (Adam) Szabo, Emmie (Bobby) Pinkley, Devon (Morgan) Turnbaugh, William M.
