Lillian D. Hill, 68, of Huntington, West Virginia, passed away on October 14, 2026.

Lillian was a genuine sweetheart whose kindness, humor, and caring spirit left a lasting impression on the people fortunate enough to know and love her. She was the kind of person who would give the shirt off her back to help someone in need yet lovingly give you a hard time in the very same moment. Her ability to show love through both her generosity and her playful spirit was a special part of who she was.

Lillian had a gift for making people smile, even during times when finding a smile of her own was not always easy. She brought warmth and laughter into the lives of others, often putting their needs and happiness before her own. If you didn't know any better, you might have thought that taking care of people was her favorite hobby. In many ways, it was simply a reflection of her own heart. Caring for others was woven into the woman she was and the love she gave so freely.

Throughout her working years, Lillian spent a good portion of her career at New Hope Christian Counseling Center, where she dedicated herself to her work. She also became a familiar and beloved face at Speedway, in Huntington, where she spent time making connections and becoming a recognizable presence in the community.

Above all, Lillian will be remembered for her loving heart, her playful personality, her generosity, and the smiles she brought to others. Her legacy lives in the lives she...

Returning to her home state, she attended the University of Alabama and received her Masters in Library Science in 1984.

They were married on August 16, 1986 in Saint Andrews Episcopal Church, Stillwater Oklahoma. She kept her last name, a little unusual for the time.

Their two cats were surprised by the arrival of James Kenneth Balch on December28, 1988, but fortunately accepted him as part of the family.

The family moved to Huntington, West Virginia, when Tim was offered a position as reference librarian at Marshall University in 1990. It is only a coincidence that an F3 tornado hit...
