Joan M. Hill – Obituary

March 30, 2023 By Eastwick Press

Petersburg – Joan M. Hill of Petersburg, NY passed away at her home peacefully in her sleep on Thursday, March 23, 2023. She was the beloved wife of Michael Hill for nearly 20 years. Born on January 17, 1956 in Bennington, VT, Joan was a lifelong resident of Petersburg where she was known and adored by many in the community.

She was the loving daughter of the late Luanne James Stevens, and her father Earl A. Stevens. She was predeceased by her sister Judy Stevens-Crandall, brother Gregory E. Stevens, niece Jolene A. Bedford, and nephew John T. Bedford. Along with her husband, she is also survived by her daughter Clara Marie Haley; her sisters Laurie Broadwell, and Jodi Hubbard; Jason Crandall; grandsons Jordan Jones, Micha Haley (whom she and Mike adopted), Matthew, and River Crandall, along with several nieces and nephews. She was loved and will be dearly missed by her lifelong friend Hattie Buck and several other friends and family.

Joan was a graduate of Berlin Central School where she was employed as a custodial worker before the birth of her daughter. She was also employed by the Petersburg Post Office, Independent Living Center, and St. Peter’s Licensed Home Care. Joan had taken care of several elderly residents in the Petersburg and Berlin area for many years. She was also a volunteer treasurer of the Petersburg Methodist Church. Joan loved reading, cooking, holding anyone’s babies, but especially loved spending time with her family and friends, and she cherished every moment with all her grandchildren. She will be remembered for her infectious smile and laughter, her kind and generous heart, and the unwavering love that she had for her neighbors, family, and friends.

There will be a celebration of Joan’s life on Saturday, April 1, 2023 at the Petersburg Methodist Church, starting at noon with a reception to follow. Condolence book and memorial page at parker
