Worcester, VT
Vicki L. Hill, 66, of Hampshire Hill Road died on Friday, November 3, 2017 at her home, surrounded by her loving family.
She was born on August 9, 1951 in Baltimore, MD, the daughter of Woodrow and Melvin "Melle" (Beam) Lippy. She graduated from North Carroll High School in 1969. She later attended Bridgewater College in Bridgewater, Virginia.
Vicki worked as a paraeducator for the Essex Elementary School for many years. There she has helped a generation of children achieve their educational goals with speech therapy support, reading and writing. This was Vickis passion and has given her life-long friendships with many people over the years. She also worked for the Vermont Trading Company in Montpelier and many years ago she was an aerobics instructor.
Vicki was a spiritual person who was very comfortable in the outdoors, which she considered to be her "church". She obtained a Master Gardener certificate from UVM and as a result had beautiful flower beds and vegetable gardens that thrived under her care. Vicki enjoyed kayaking, biking, hiking, camping and was a graceful backcountry tele skier. Vicki was active in the Montpelier Senior Center, where she enjoyed participating in Tai Chi and singing.
Survivors include her husband; Paul Hill Jr. of Worcester, VT, she was the light of his life and he will forever carry her in his heart; daughter, Kelly L. Fridinger and granddaughter Aislinn Keefe of Bolton, VT; sons, Jon B. Fridinger of Marion, IA, his wife Shayna Fridinger and grandchildren Allison Fridinger, Riley Fridinger, and Jacob Fridinger; Ehren Paul Hill and his partner Erin Riley of Montpelier, VT; siblings, Sandra C. Denner and her husband Jon Denner of Worcester, VT and Scott B. Lippy and his wife Jane Lippy of Frederick, MD. Vicki also leaves behind many other members of her close knit family. She was preceded in death by her father Woodrow and we know they are now singing together.
