Alma L. Hilley
May 16, 1939 — December 28, 2014
Alma L. Hilley, 75, of Armour Ave, Columbus, GA, went to be with our lord December 28, 2014, at St. Francis Hospital with her loving family by her side.
She was born in Stratford, NY on May 16th, 1939 to the late Paul Hilley and Marjorie(Perry) LaQuay. She attended Stratford Central School. Alma lived in Stratford and Gloversville until 1995 when Alma, Brenda and Alison began their new adventure in Georgia.
Alma spent most of her life as a homemaker, as a devoted mother and wife. She worked at Tricot, Daniel Green and lastly at Hussman's retiring in 1986 due to illness. She loved adventure and travel. She most recently took her first trip to Disney at Thanksgiving with Brenda and family. Her glory days were spent in the Stratford Auxilary. She had a way with plants and flowers that made everyone smile. She loved to play pitch with Anita and Curly and the competition was intense. She played cribbage, uno and pinochle. She was so good at dominoes that many a soldier from the 3rd brigade walked away in shame. Holidays and tradition were very important to her. Rich or poor she always decorated.
Alma is survived by three daughters Patricia, Michelle and Brenda (George Coleman). Grandchildren Donald, Keith(Elizabeth), Alison(Maurice), Andrew, Raechelle and Alison Coleman(Brandon). Great-grandchildren Austin, Maddie and Callie. Sister, best friend and accomplice, Jean(Jerry) Miller and sister in law, Dorothy Rumrill Chrisman. Several nieces and nephews, adopted children who she so enjoyed keeping up with on Facebook.
She was predeceased by the father of her children Daniel Rumrill. Siblings Paul, William, Fred, Joyce and Keith.
A special thanks to Janet Gumz who was like a daughter. Also the nurses and staff on the Second Floor at St. Francis and Marguerite, hospitalist who made our journey special.
Viewing will be December 30th from 5-7 at McMullen Funeral Home 3874 Gentian Blvd. Columbus, GA. Burial will be handled by Miller-Plonka Funeral Home, Dolgeville, NY.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be sent to Stratford Volunteer Fire Department.
