  General Notes:

Eliza Elizabeth Hiller
August 21, 1926 – February 3, 2021


Eliza Elizabeth Hiller, beloved mother & Paw, was called home Feb 3, 2021. She was 94 years young.

Liz was born on August 21, 1926, in Mills County, Tx, to Hardy Ransom & Willie Collier. She attended school in Starr.

In 1946, she married her one & only love, Lloyd Hiller. Together they made Abilene their home in 1957. They raised two kids, James & Loretta. She was an accomplished seamstress, quilter and cook, but best at loving and taking care of her family.

Liz was a faithful member of Wylie United Methodist Church. Her servant's heart lead her to serve not only in the church, but in several other community programs. On most Mondays, she and a group of ladies could be found painting fingernails at one of the nursing homes. She enjoyed being a part of the United Methodist Women, RSVP club, Widow Womens group, & Pep Club.

Her most favorite title was being "Paw" to her grandkids, great grandkids, and all of their friends.

We know there was a large welcoming committee in heaven. She was preceded in death by her husband, Lloyd; grandson Justin Hiller; her parents; 3 brothers; 5 sisters; numerous extended family & many close friends.

Liz is survived by her son James (Patsy) Hiller of Azle; Loretta Newberry of Abilene; grandson Jeffery (Stephanie) Hiller of Waco; granddaughters: Emily (Trey) Gilmore of Brock and Linsey (Tim) Green of Abilene; great grandkids: Kynlee Gilmore, Kolyer Gilmore, Judson Green, Jolee Green, Courtney Hiller, Max Hiller, Hunter McRae, Madelyn McRae

Honorary pallbearers will be her beloved Builders Sunday school class.
