Remembering Peggy Ann Hill: A Life of Love and Family in Pace, Florida

In Loving Memory of Peggy Ann Hill

Peggy Ann Hill, a beloved resident of Pace, Florida, passed away unexpectedly on June 11, 2026, at the age of 77. Originally from Spokane, Washington, Peggy graduated from University High School in 1966. Following her graduation, she briefly relocated to Sacramento before returning to her roots to study education at Eastern Washington State University.

Her life took a significant turn when she was set up on a blind date with Bernard W. Hill, who had just returned from military service. Their connection was immediate, leading to a lifelong partnership that began with their marriage on August 17, 1968.

After Bernie completed his military duties, the couple settled in Pensacola, where they raised their two children, Brian Wilson Hill and Jennifer Jo Hill. Peggy had an extensive career in retail and ultimately retired as a supervisor at the Vanity Fair plant in Milton. Even after retirement, she stayed active by managing the family video store, Friendly Video, while cherishing time spent with her grandchildren, Spencer and Madison.

Peggy is preceded in death by her husband, Bernard W. Hill; her daughter, Jennifer Jo Hill; her parents, Marvin and Betty Lou Cole Brown; and her brothers, Donnie and Marvin ‘Butch’ Brown.

She is survived by her son, Brian (Allison) Hill; her grandchildren, Spencer Wilson Hill and Madison Gray Hill; her sisters, Bonnie Rodgers and Kathryn Madsen; and her nephews, David and William Standage, along with her great-nieces, Jade, Madison, and Grace.

The family fondly remembers Peggy as a devoted grandmother who never missed a football game or dance recital, always ready with their favorite snacks after school. A private ceremony will be held to honor her memory.
