She was preceded in death by her siblings: Felix, Jr., Tbm, Frank, David, and Maggie. She departed this life on February 11, 2012 at Golden Living Center of Augusta. She accepted Christ as her personal Savior at an early age and was baptized at Shaws Creek Baptist Church in Trenton, South Carolina. After moving to Augusta, Georgia, she joined Flarmony Baptist Church where she served faithfully for fifty years as Chief o f the Usher Board, currently named The Amie Hill Usher and Usherette Ministry. Also, she was a member of the Ushers Union of Georgia, Senior Mission Society, Ward Four, and the Deaconess Board. Through God's grace, she became the Mother of Harmony Baptist Church. She was married to the late Brady Hill; they were blessed with two daughters. Mrs. Amie Hill received her education from Bettis Academy in Edgefield County, South Carolina. She worked for the Richmond County Board o f Education at Houghton Elementary School in food service for twenty-eight years and at Trinity on the Hill United Methodist Church nursery for forty years. Though she was a woman of humble means, sharing and helping others gave her much gratih cation. Her innateness for parenting and nurturing are to be touted. She was an exemplary mother and grandmother. She groomed and helped shape the lives of numerous youth under her leadership at Harmony Baptist Church as Chief o f the Usher Board. Mrs. Amie Walker Hill leaves to cherish her precious memories: her loving daughters, Maggie M. Hill and Brady H. Grant (Edison); two granddaughters, Mica Racquelle Hunter and Dr. Najma Hunter; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. D on't be sad and do not weep, death is a date we all must keep. I have kept the faith and made my peace, now, I sleep to awake with God, where time never cease. Smiles and heartaches are worldly gestures that make life bearable for you; God is fu ll o f miracles, and some are just for you. Just trust and love Him, He will see you through, until I meet again with you. - LOVE, M O M IP _ Otctf&t/ o f Rev. Dr. Woodrow Miller, Jr., Presiding PRELUDE...........................
