Betty Jean Hill, 88, died Monday, April 15,2019 in Dallas Oregon.
Betty was the eldest child born to Albert & Frances Koenig on September 14, 1930. They lived in the grasslands of NE Colorado during The Great Dustbowl era, then, along with younger sister Shirley, the family moved west, to settle in Los Angeles, California in the early 40s. Youngest sister Korky was born in CA.
Betty attended school & graduated high school in Los Angeles. The Koenigs attended Church of the Open Door in downtown L.A, where Betty met & soon married Norman Paul Hoffman. Betty & Norm had 1 son & 3 daughters.
In 1968 Betty & her daughters moved to Pedee, OR, where Betty owned & operated McTimmonds Creek Park Store & gas station for about 10 years before moving to Dallas, OR.
Betty enjoyed working at Greenwood's Stationery for several years prior to being employed at The Oregon Bank in Dallas, later known as Bank of America. She loved the Dallas community. She retired from the bank in 1992.
Betty then began babysitting for her friend Holly Lynn, caring for Brett & Dylan throughout their school years, loving them as a Grammy!
Betty had the heart of a servant & was happiest when helping others in her community. While living at Greenway Mobile Park for many years Betty often house-sat, offered rides, & care gave for the retired folks who were her neighbors.
While living at Dallas Retirement Village she became the self-appointed assistant to Kathy, the Activity Director, & was always willing to help others.
Betty loved spending time with her grown kids & their families. She enjoyed the simple pleasures; sunsets, rides to the beach, birdies on her feeder, making her yard look pretty, often stating "It doesn't take much to amuse me"!
Betty is survived by her Sister Korky Leonard, Son Ken (Kathy) Hoffman, Daughters Sheryl (Willis) Evans, Caryl (Paul) Nicol, Kathi (LeRoy) Preciado, Grandchildren Kris (Heather) Hoffman, her only Granddaughter Casey Jean (Chris) Stark, Justin (Julia) Evans, Danny (Alisa) Nicol, Kurt Hoffman, Ben (Becky) Nicol, Scott Nicol, Glen Nicol, and 17 Great Grandchildren.
