Camille LaVerne Hill

Camille LaVerne Hill, daughter of the late Verne Wesley and Katherine E. Wesley, was born November 16, 1944 in Cincinnati, Ohio. She attended high school at Lincoln Institute, in Lincoln Ridge, Kentucky. She then went on to attend Knoxville College, in Knoxville, Tennessee. For more than 30 years, Camille worked for the United States Postal Service in Cincinnati, until her retirement. Camille accepted Christ as a teenager at Wherman Avenue Christian Church which became United Christian Church (now The Body of Christ Christian Church) in Cincinnati, Ohio. She was a dedicated member and served as a Deaconess, Elder, and original member of the Creative Gospel Ensemble. Camille also sung in various groups including Voices of Praise and Phil Brown’s God’s Earth With Love (GEWL). She continued her passion for serving the Lord when she moved to Indianapolis, Indiana and joined Light of the World Christian Church, becoming an Elder, serving on the Bishop TGB Senior Living Board, and once again, using her melodic and anointed alto voice to give God praise in both the Voices of Light and the Golden Light Choirs. Camille was married to Willie Hill Jr., and their family included three children, sons, Byron and Willie III, and daughter, Monic. In the words of one of her children, “Mom lived a simple life, but was well loved,” which was shown by the number of life-long friends dating back to her days at Lincoln Institute, until present. This includes a wealth of friends in Cincinnati, in addition to those from United Christian Church where she was lovingly nicknamed “Star” for her anointed singing and compassionate spirit, and the precious relationships she created with many at Light of the World Christian Church in Indianapolis. But if you knew her, whether as Cousin, Elder, Sister-Friend, or Momma Camille, you know she touched lives everywhere the Lord placed her and far beyond. Her sweet smile moved many hearts and her baked goods warmed the soul. Camille’s spirit continues in her three children, Byron Keith (Twanya) Hill, Willie (Janet) Hill, III, Monic Renee Hill, grandchildren, Alexander Chase Hill, Miles Christian (Lucie) Hill, Nailah Ayanna Hill, Niara Safi Hill, Brice Colby Hill, and Rais Zende Hill, and a host of cousins and friends who love her dearly and will continue to cherish her legacy. In lieu of flowers, the family would like to encourage individuals to contribute to the OrthoIndy Foundation YMCA. The Camille L. Hill Memorial Scholarship was established to honor Mom’s love for children. By donating to this scholarship, you are helping to honor her memory for children of all ages to participate in youth programming at the OrthoIndy Foundation Y https://p2p.onecause.com/ymca2022/event/Camille-Hill-Memorial-Scholarship-Fund
