Betty Sue Hill
July 23, 1940 ~ March 17, 2015
Signature Sympathy Cards
Betty Sue Giddens Hill went home to be with her Lord and personal Savior on Tuesday, March 17, 2015, following heart surgery at Wake Med. She was born on July 23, 1940 in Pender County, NC, the middle daughter of Rev. Walter Elbert Giddens and Flossie Bell Malpass Giddens of Willard, NC.
She is survived by her adoring husband of nearly 55 years, Rev. Glenn Lee Hill; four children: Chris Hill of Tarboro, Sonya Webb of Pinetops, Suzanne Langley of Rocky Mount, and Timothy Hill of Tarboro; their spouses, whom she loved as if they were her own sons and daughters: Jeannie (Chris), Lindsay (Timothy), Sherwood (Sonya), and Nick (Suzanne); two dear sisters: Charlotte Southerland (Jimmy) of Teachey, NC and Althea Brock (Wayne) of Willard, NC; thirteen grandchildren: Adam Hill and wife Sarah Jo, Daniel, Carianna, Evan, and Zachary Hill; Sarah, Rachel, and Seth Webb; Rebecca Langley Langston and her husband, Braden, and Joshua Langley; Nathan, Trevor, and Julianna Hill; one great-grandchild, Carleigh Hill, and her soon to be born little sister, Audra Noelle Hill; and a host of in-laws, nephews, nieces, and friends whom she loved deeply.
No words exist to properly describe what a beautiful, sweet, gentle, kind, and loving person Betty Sue was. Her husband often said that he had married an angel. She was, indeed, the most pure Christian lady imaginable. She had no ungodly attitudes, attributes, or characteristics, showing only love, compassion, kindness, understanding, and forgiveness to everyone. She was in four wordsperfection in human flesh! She loved her Lord and Savior with all of her heart. Without question, Jesus was first in her life followed by her family and her friends. She loved and appreciated the beautiful family God had given her and all of them loved her more than words can say. Surely their Lord will help them, but the void left in their lives will never be adequately filled. On the other hand the immaculate role model she left them, the Godly legacy and the precious heritage her loved ones have now inherited, will never ever be surpassed. Betty Sue was one of a kind, a saint, whom we rarely get to know in this life.
A funeral service will be held on Saturday, March 21, 2015 at 11:00 AM at Wheeler Woodlief Funeral Home and Cremation Services, with Betty Sues husband, Rev. Glenn Hill officiating. Burial will follow at Rocky Mount Memorial Park. A visitation with family and friends will be held on Friday, March 20, 2015 from 6:00 to 8:00 PM, at Wheeler Woodlief Funeral Home, and at the home at other times.
Arrangements are entrusted to Wheeler and Woodlief Funeral Home Cremation Services, 1130 N. Winstead Avenue, Rocky Mount, NC 27804. You may share your memories and condolences with the family by visiting www.wheelerwoodlief.com.

Glenn was considered our senior pastor at Berean Bible Church in Virginia Beach. And, of course, Betty was the angel by his side. We all should be looking forward to being with the Lord, and I wish I was the fly on the cloud watching what is going on up there. However, from our point of view down here, this is so heartbreaking! Glenn’s world is shattered and we feel so helpless being so far away. Gary and I will be praying for Glenn and all the children and grandchildren as you go through this together and help Glenn through it. God bless you all. Gary and Brenda Hardison, Chesapeake, Va.
I met Betty Sue, back in 1984, when I was selling Avon. She was exactly the same sweet person the day I met her as she was the last time we spoke on the phone. One of my favorite things about Betty Sue was, every time I saw her or talked to her on the phone, she made me feel like I had made her day. She was such a special lady, that always knew how to make others feel special. To Brother Glenn, Suzanne, Sonya, Tim and Chris, and the entire Hill family, I love you all and pray the lord will give you strength to get through these very painful days ahead.
My husband and I met Betty Sue and Glenn about 3 years ago, and it was like they became our instant family. She always welcomed us and was so sweet and kind. We wished we could have met her long ago because she truly showed the light of Christ. What a special person, she will truly be missed, but I am glad to know that we will meet her again someday in Heaven.
Betty Sue was the most kind and precious soul I have ever known. So giving and kind. I spent so many moments at the Hill home growing up and her wonderful cooking could never be duplicated. Such a precious wonderful mother. I could go on for days of speaking great memories of her. I truly loved her and her whole family. My deepest sympathy to the family and to see her one day in heaven I know we will beyond a shadow of any doubt. She was a God sent woman on the earth.
Betty Sue was the embodiment of God’s sunshine upon this earth. She brightened the lives of all who met her. She was such a gracious and caring person who loved God and her family more than anything. She was the Apple of her hubby’s eye. Glenn adored her and she adored him. They were a testimony of God’s plan of love for marriage. Betty Sue will be so missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her on this side of eternity. She is now in the glorious presence of her Savior. May The God of all Peace and Grace give comfort to Glenn and all of Betty’s Sue’s family.
We are so sorry to hear the news of Betty’s passing. She and Glenn have been wonderful neighbors and she will be greatly missed! We will pray for the comfort of God’s arms Glenn and the family. Thinking of you all, Robert and Paula Colbert
This is such sad, sad news. I can’t imagine what you GLenn and the children and grandchildren are going through just now. It breaks my heart to think about it . I just pray that God will put his arms around you all and give you some peace and comfort. We send our love and prayers to you all. Harris and Evelyne Mills
Glen, my love and prayers go out to you and your whole family. I know the Lord will keep you in His hands. Linda Kelley Knight (A high school friend)

There are not enough words to express our sadness over the loss of this amazing woman. Our hearts are broken as we came to love her very much. She was the most humble, gracious and loving woman. She and Glenn were a beautiful Godly example of a loving marriage. We came to love her and Glenn very much in the few short years we have known them. We thank God for bringing them into our lives and we will miss her tremendously. We love you Glenn and will continue to pray for you and your beautiful family as you struggle through this very difficult time. God bless you all. David and Cathy Curtis

Brother Glenn and children We are so very sorry to hear of Betty Sue’s passing; she was so very kind to everyone and as you stated, she was an angel.

Brother Glenn, I know the words don’t exist that will express the depth of pain in the separation of you and your wonderful, beloved bride. Such a sweet woman of faith and love and peace. We only got to know her for a little while but we are so very grateful that we did yet it seemed as if she was a lifelong friend. Both of you were the LORDs picture of a loving marriage of two people devoted to each other. She has probably met and comforted everyone in heaven already as she was such a comfort to all who knew her here. Great sadness at your loss but standing close and ready, lamps filled with oil, for anything you may need that your family at Berean can do for you my friend. In Him, gary hardison.
Brother Glenn and Family Our deepest sympathy to you and your family at this time. Amparo and myself remember the delightful time when you and Betty Sue came to have a meal with us when we were in Greenville. Brother Glenn we can’t begin to imagine how you and your family are feeling. Betty Sue is with her Savior now and has heard the well done, thy good and faithful child enter in the joy of the LORD. She was called from the foundation of the world to be HIS child and now she is back with HIM. Stan and Amparo pray that the Yahweh of all comfort will comfort you and yours as you go through this great time of loss. If there is anything we can do please let us know

Glenn, I am praying that the Lord will keep you and your family in His care especially during this time of sadness. You were trusting in him many years ago when I knew you in Rocky Mount and I know He will comfort you now. Wynette Hicks McPherson
To the family of Betty Sue, I am so sad for your deep loss. I am praying daily for you to receive comfort. I will always remember the special roast she cooked on Sundays when I was a child. She knew it was my favorite. Betty Sue was a kind and sweet person and I know your heart is broken. Lisa Wescott
Suzanne and Family, My thoughts and prayers are with you during the time of heartbreaking loss of your Mom. I remember her and your Dad as faithful supporters of Momeyer Ruritan barbecue chicken and the friendly nature that she possessed with that radiant smile. Although your heart is heavy, it is truly a celebration as you know that she is at the right hand of the Lord and stands amazed in His presence. May your faith and God’s amazing Grace carry you through the days ahead.
Betty Sue was truly an angel. I was always so excited when she and Glenn came to church on Sunday, and I will miss that so much. She was the most loving, caring, and Godly woman I have ever known and I loved her so very much. My heart is broken to lose her, but I know she is in the loving arms of our Savior, and someday I will see her again. I will miss seeing her at our annual conferences also. My prayers are with Glenn and the family that God will comfort them in such a great loss. She was like family to me, and I will miss her so very much. In Christ, Elsie Curtis
