Obituary for Eileen L. Hill Eileen Leonin Hill, 86, of Marlboro, NJ passed away peacefully on November 30, 2018. Eileen was born in Trinidad on October 27, 1932 to Ralph and Hilda Hill. She was the widow of Thornton Hubbard and lived in Brooklyn, NY before moving to New Jersey in 2003.
Beginning as a teenager Eileen worked for over twenty years in customer service at Stephens and Todds in Port-of-Spain. In 1969 Eileen migrated to the United States and soon after became a nurse’s aide at NYU Medical Center where she worked for over twenty-five years in pediatrics before retiring in 1996. Eileen was simply an outstanding person with a big and generous heart.
She was a devoted mother to her nieces Judy and Monique, a dutiful daughter and sister, and a wonderful caring aunt and friend. Eileen had several passions, and chief among these were her collection of cookbooks and her love for cooking and baking. She liked nothing better than to celebrate the holidays with a house that smelled of freshly baked bread, sweetbread, and a bountiful table of home cooked food beautifully displayed.
All of her grandchildren will carry special memories of “Grandma’s bakes” which was their most popular request. Eileen also loved gardening, reading, politics, and learning about scripture. She kept in touch and up to date with the news and current events on her iPad, cellphone, and through Facebook and Twitter.
Eileen was predeceased by her parents Ralph and Hilda, brothers Sheldon, Conrad, and Lucas, and spouse Thornton Hubbard. She is survived by her sister Beulah Chrysostom; daughters Judith Butcher and her husband Ulric of Marlboro, NJ, Monique Hill and her husband Peter of Old Bridge, NJ; grandsons Ismael Algarin and his wife Jessica of Harrison, NJ, Justin Algarin of West Hartford, CT, Ulric Butcher III of Old Bridge, NJ; granddaughter Alexia Butcher of Chicago, IL; her nieces Pamela Cameron, Patricia Allard, Bernadine Matosas, Johanna Hill, Paula Wong, Louise Clarke, and Pauline Hill; nephews, Jeffrey Peltier, Sheldon Maurice Hill, and Rodney Hill; her cousin Elaine Ien Stanford; and aunt Virginia Thomas.
