Margie Louise (Stewart) Hill

On the thirteenth day of October, year of nineteen hundred twenty-five, in Jacksonville, Texas, D. C. and Eddie Faye Stewart welcomed their first child, Margie Louise.

Mother, as she was affectionately regarded, completed her primary education in Jacksonville, Texas and her secondary education in Ennis, Texas.  Upon graduation from high school, she attended Prairie View A&M College where she majored in Education.

On April 1, 1946, Mother married her high school sweetheart, our father, James F. Hill (who preceded her in death in November 1998).  They were married for fifty-two years.  To this union, eight children were born.  She was a loving and dedicated wife and sister.  Most of all, she was a loving, giving, and all-encompassing mother, grandmother and great- grandmother.
