Puckett Hill

Mary Ann (Puckett) Hill Born: January 11, 1941, and left this world March 14, 2025. Mary was born to Harvey Ballard Puckett and Sadie Puckett in Blanchard, Oklahoma, she was the fourth of nine children. Mary spent most of her adolescent years in Blanchard before the family relocated to Norman.

Mary started a lifelong adventure of traveling around the world at 18 when she packed up with not much more than the clothes on her back and ventured north to Chicago. Mary resided in California and many other places before residing in El Paso upon her husband's retirement. El Paso seemed to suit Mary well and she began her very successful career. She began work at an unemployment agency but not long after decided that she could make her own mark in the industry and ventured out on her own by starting her own unemployment agency. The success of this was even more than she could have imagined, and which afforded her the ability to sell her business began the life of retirement and adventure. Mary and Husband Gene Hill relocated to Norman, Oklahoma for a short period while she assisted in caring for her mother Sadie in her later years. Upon the passing of her mother Mary again decided to relocate this time to beautiful Vancouver Island, Canada where she lived for a few years before deciding to relocate back closer to home in Houston until Gene's passing.

After Gene's passing Mary decided it was time to come back to her roots and relocated closer to her childhood home in Goldsby. During this time, she reached out and began talking to one of her childhood boyfriends which shared a very similar fate of recently losing their spouse. Mary and Curtis rekindled a wonderful companionship and spent most of recent years there enjoying the adventurous spirit of traveling and enjoying making lasting friendship at the church they called home.

Mary is survived by Curtis of the home, brothers Don Puckett with wife Sharon, Van Puckett and Robert Puckett. Sisters Glenda Burns with husband Dwayne Weigand and Elaine Stewart and several nieces and nephews.

Mary was preceded in death by her late husband Gene Hill, her parents Harvey Ballard and Sadie Puckett, brother Harvey Puckett, sister Patsy Ruble and brother Jerry Puckett.
