She is lovingly remembered by her son Damiko Hill and his domestic partner Brandon Ruff of Atlanta, Georgia; daughter Shamika Smith; son-in-law Thomas Smith of Mauldin, South Carolina; as well as grandchildren, great-grandchildren, god-children, great-godchildren, sisters, sisters-in-law, a brother-in-law, aunts, uncles, cousins' numerous nieces, nephews, and friends.  May her memory bring comfort to those who knew her.
