Janet Louise Hill of Lansdowne, Pennsylvania, passed away after a short illness on June 14, 2017.
Born in 1946 in Philadelphia, PA she attended Lansdowne-Aldan High School and Lebanon Valley College.

After graduation, she taught in Andover, MA, before moving to Westmore, VT, as a year-round resident. There she developed her lifelong love of gardening and became passionately involved with the humane care of animals. She was an enthusiastic sailor on Lake Willoughby for many years.
Toward the end of her life, she lived in Lansdowne, where she added beekeeping to her continuing love of gardening.

Hill (and his wife Susan) of East Lansing, MI; her nephew and niece, David K. D. Hill of Brooklyn, NY, and Christine E. Hill-Kayser of Philadelphia, PA (and her husband Matthew Kayser); and her great niece and nephew, Mabel and Ian Kayser.
