Dorothy Jane Moulse Hill passed away December 26, 2021 in Rockingham County, NC. She was born in Roanoke, Va, March 8, 1932. She was a 1949 graduate of Jefferson High School. She graduated from James Madison College and later attended University of Virginia where she was working toward her Masters Degree.
She was a public school teacher who began her career in 1953 at Monroe Jr. High School and West End Elementary in Roanoke. She later taught at Fishersville Elementary in Augusta Co, Va. She retired in 1987 after teaching 20 years in Raleigh, NC; 15 years at Longview Gardens Elementary and 5 years at Mary P. Douglas Elementary. She was deeply loved and greatly appreciated by her former students as well as fellow teachers and she was blessed by wonderful expressions of gratitude through cards, letters and phone calls to the very end of her long life. Her effervescent personality, good cheer and sincere love for others were contagious and won her a multitude of cherished friends. She enjoyed cooking the best meals, gardening, painting in oils and watercolors, playing Bridge and especially finding the perfect gifts to give for any occasion.
She was preceded in death by her parents Hugh Andrew Moulse Sr. and Dorothy Reitzel Moulse, brother Hugh 'Bill' Moulse Jr., former husband Dr. Samuel D. Hill and son Stuart Andrew Hill.
She is survived by son David (Cindy), nieces Andrea Andrews (Andy), Leslie Walters (David), Andrea's daughter Jordan Ashley Amick, sister-in-law Sally Moulse and Sally's family, sons Chris and Gil (Cheryl) Lynch and their daughter Haley. Her loving daughter-in-law Cindy McEntyre Hill of Calhoun, Ga, held a very special place in her heart.
Jane shared her James Madison College life with several close Tri Sigma sorority sisters. Her Roanoke County companions included all her dearly loved Moulse-Mowles kin, June and Eugene Walker and later in life, Bonna and David Keeley, Tony and Kay Fonti and her many friends over the years in "The Village" in Hunting Hills. In Raleigh, NC she shared teaching duties and daily life with best buds Martha Crawford, Jo Parker, Parker Call, Linda Jones, Marsha Painter, Carol Fish and a host of others. She lived with her son in her later years to be cared for and brought an "indescribable joy and blessing" to the home.
She was a lifelong member of Raleigh Court United Methodist Church and she cherished her Sunday school group. Her parents Hugh and Dorothy Reitzel Moulse opened Grandin Road Hardware in 1953 and operated the store until retirement in 1976. Reid's Furniture now occupies the building.
A memorial service will be held at a later date. Interment will be at Evergreen Cemetery in Roanoke.
