Doris was born December 5, 1944, in Anson County, NC and was a daughter of the late Robert Lee Carpenter and the late Esther Baucom Hill. She was a graduate of Bowman High School

While in early years she worked in banking and at Wade Manufacturing, her main and productive career was that of wife, mother, grandmother, pastor’s wife, and friend. She took the role God placed on her life seriously and was indeed devoted to her family.

Those who are left to cherish her memory are her husband 55 years, Rev. Steve Hill; her children, Lori Hill-Stikeleather and husband, Brian of Mooresville, Stephen Hill and wife, Stephanie of Peachland, Justin Chris and wife, Anita of Marshville, Diedre Suzanne Hill of Peachland and Daniel Hill and wife, Alisha of Peachland; her grandchildren, Gavin Dipple, Ashton Stikeleather, Addison Stikeleather, Claudia Hill, Andrew Hill, and Magnolia Hill; her brother, Gary Carpenter of Peachland and her nieces and nephews and their families.

Doris enjoyed gardening at home, both flowers and vegetables, watching hummingbirds and cardinals and keeping their feeders full and ready for them. She dearly loved time spent with her family, especially her grandchildren. Trips to the mountains were among her favorite past times, too.

She enjoyed playing the piano and loved to sing. She had been a part of a gospel singing group which included her husband. Her love for the Lord and his message was also evident in her support for her husband’s ministry.
