She was 79. The longtime community activist and homemaker was born in San Bernardino and grew up in San Francisco. She married Jack Hills in 1943 and worked at the Green’s Eye Hospital in San Francisco during World War II. After the war, the couple moved to Bakersfield, Citrus Heights, then to Davis. She was widely known as a “can do” woman, participating in a large number of community organizations. She worked for several years for Dryden’s Home furnishings and the Bob Day Pharmacy. An avid gardener and home remodeler, she nearly doubled the floor space of her Oeste Manor home and decorated the outside with roses. Many Davis residents will remember her as an enthusiastic and graceful folk and square dancer. Hills was a “mom” to exchange student Christina Mercado, and a foster mother to Douglas Barker. Her travels abroad made many friends in Chile, Aregentina (sic), England and New Zealand.
