Please share a memory of Anna to include in a keepsake book for family and friends.
Anna Elizabeth Hill, born Anna Elizabeth Morren, but known to her family and friends as Elizabeth or Liz, was born on July 29, 1938,in Miles, Texas. The beloved mother, grandmother, mother-in-law, aunt, pet lover, avid sports fan, and strong independent businesswoman, left this world to be with the Lord and those who proceeded her in death, on September 19, 2020, due to complications from a stroke. Elizabeth grew up in Floydada, Texas, the eldest daughter of James and Verna Morren.
Elizabeth was a flight attendant for Continental Airlines in the late 1950s; she always reflected on this time as a highlight of her career. Elizabeth married Joel on December 20, 1971, in El Paso, Texas, where she spent the better part of her life. Elizabeth worked as a bookkeeper for many years before purchasing a temporary agency, which became her passion. Elizabeth ran the temporary agency up until her retirement.
She was very active in the El Paso chapter of SHRM and the El Paso County Republican Women’s Party. Elizabeth moved to Richardson, Texas in February of 2018, to be close to her family. Elizabeth loved El Paso, it was her home, and she will be buried at the Fort Bliss National Cemetery with her husband, Joel.
Elizabeth is survived in death by her son, Michael and his wife Laura and their children Ryan and Riley; her son, Justin and his wife Annaluz and their son Giovanni; her brother, Billy and his wife Jan and their family; and her sister-in-law, Laveta and her family; and her sister-in-law, Shirley and her family.
Elizabeth was preceded in death by her husband, Joel; and her pets, Pumpkin, Paco, Troubles, and Duke.
Elizabeth wanted this final message to be sent to all who knew and loved her as well as those she loved.
To Those I love And Those Who Love Me
When I am gone, release me, and let me go.
I have so many things to see and do.
You mustn’t tie yourself to me with tears,
Be happy that we had so many year.
I gave you my love and you can only guess,
How much you gave me in happiness.
I thank you for the love you each have shown,
But now it’s time I traveled on alone.
So grieve awhile for me, if grieve you must
Then let your grief be comforted by trust.
It’s only for a while that we must part
So bless the memories within your heart.
I won’t be far away, for life goes on,
So, if you need me, call and I will come.
Though you can’t see or touch,
I’ll be near, and if you listen with your heart,
You’ll hear all my love around you soft and clear.
And then, when you must come this way alone,
I’ll greet you with a smile and say, “Welcome Home”
