Naomi L. Hill

November 13, 1948 - December 4, 2020

UTICA - Naomi L. Hill, age 72, entered into rest on Friday, December 4, 2020 as she passed away in the comfort and dignity of her home. Born in Utica on November 13, 1948, Naomi was the daughter of the late Amos Sr. and Thelma (Scott) Hill. She was educated in the Utica City School District. After her many years of employment at the Masonic Home, she enjoyed her time helping others. Naomi volunteered at various meaningful and charitable organizations throughout her life. She loved spending time with family and friends, and her presence and smile always brightened up a room. She was very well known and loved, as she would say, in “The City of Utica”. Naomi will be truly missed for her no-nonsense demeanor and “tell-it-like-it-is” character. Naomi is survived by her daughter, Nicole (Robert) Moore-Gilmore, and the memory of her son, Anthony Hill who preceded her. She leaves her grandchildren, Supora Hill, Joseph Hill, Destiny Walker, Denzel Hill, and Najeeb Gilmore; great-grandchildren, Asiyah, Akia, Tahraji, and Tajana. She will also be remembered by her sister, Juanita Wallace; brothers and their loves, Albert (Janet) Hill, Leroy Hill, and George (Juanita) Hill; a host of nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews who she loved as her own, as well as many cousins. She was predeceased by her sisters; Minnie Johnson, and Mamie Hill; her brothers, Edward Hill, and Amos Hill Jr.; her nieces, Lavern, and Joyce; and her nephew, Odell Wallace Jr.; and beloved best friends, Baby Lou Patterson, Carolyn Upshaw-Blue, and Miss Mary Kay Mayo. The family extends thanks to Naomi’s physicians for their care and concern in overseeing her medical needs. In keeping with Naomi’s wishes, she will be laid to rest at a private time. Acts of kindness and cards of remembrance in Naomi’s honor may be sent to the Eannace Funeral Home, Inc., 932 South St., Utica, NY 13501 to be forwarded to the family. During this time of social distancing that we are all experiencing, please take a moment to connect with Naomi’s family through the “Memories” section of her obituary. Our prayers go out to all as a sign of our continued support.
