    Notes:

    DOB, DOM: Lippe pg 151
    Cumberland Center Dorothy M. “Dot” (Violette) Hill, 97, died peacefully at her home on March 20, 2021, following a short period of declining health. Dot was born in Rehobeth MA on the Fourth of July in 1923 to Thomas and Mattie (Dick) Violette, the youngest of their 13 children. She graduated from Taunton (MA) High School in 1941 and began work at Grinnell Corp. where she also helped raise money for the war effort as a majorette in the company’s Drum and Bugle Corps. In 1946 she married Robert A. Hill, an army sergeant who later became a successful salesman. They moved, from Rhode Island, to Maine in 1963 and raised their family in Falmouth, North Yarmouth, and South Portland. After her husband died in 1981, she worked as a nanny for more than 14 appreciative families and was also an area Avon representative for many years. Dot studied dance in her youth and enjoyed golf, reading and knitting. She was a communicant of Holy Martyrs Church, Falmouth. Her greatest love was being surrounded by her children and their families and she was especially grateful for all her many friends and neighbors that had been a treasured joy to her over the years. Dorothy is survived by seven of her eight children: Judith Hill (spouse John Shattuck) of New Gloucester; Kenneth Hill (partner Maury Tooley) of Pawlet, VT; Wayne Hill of Poughkeepsie, NY; Lorraine “Lori” Robinson (spouse Richard Robinson) of North Yarmouth; Marcia Hill (partner Scott) of Gorham; Glenn Hill (fiancé Susan Kelley) of Raleigh, NC; and Jennifer Viernes (spouse Allan Viernes) of Cornish. She has 18 grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren. Dot also is survived by several nieces, nephews and cousins who were very special to her. She was predeceased by her husband, Robert A. “Bob” Hill, daughter Cynthia Kaiser, son-in-law Ed Keiser, and great-grandson Henry James Hartford. A service will be held at a future date. Arrangements are by Lindquist Funeral Home, Yarmouth. In lieu of flowers, and because she loved all children, please consider a donation in her memory to either: Make a Wish Foundation-Maine, in memory of Henry Hartford, 66 Mussey Road, Scarborough Maine 04074 or Center for Grieving Children, 555 Forest Avenue, Portland, Maine 04101
