Patricia Moffett

Age - 81

November 18, 2023

Patricia (Patsy) Ann Wills Moffett Jul 15, 1942 - Nov 10, 2023 Age : 81 Westport, Indiana Share : Patricia "Patsy" Ann Wills Moffett passed away on September 22, 2023, lovingly surrounded by family. Patsy was born in New Castle, Indiana on July 15, 1942, the daughter of Chester H. and Edna M. (Scott) Wills. She moved to Westport in 1949 where she graduated from Sandcreek High School. In 1961 she was married to Davie N. Moffett. Together they raised their four children Lisa (Patrick) Rooney, Brenda (Patrick) Duhaime, Wendy (Kyle) Apperson, and David Steven "Steve" Moffett on North Dean Street in a home forever filled with unconditional love and support. Patsy's love had no end, so it is of no surprise that each of her nine grandchildren; Ry Guy, Little Laur, Babe, Britters, Court, Nathan, Pat, James, and Kali Bug, adored her. Patsy "Ma" as she was affectionately known by, had the unmatched ability to make every person feel like they were her favorite. She welcomed everyone she came across with a smile that was so bright it left an afterglow of happiness in the room. Patsy loved nothing more than being with her people. She was up for literally every adventure her grands presented, whether it was riding roller coasters or wheelchair dancing at a recent wedding reception. She loved playing board games with her dear friend and partner in crime, Patsy Black Kilgore as well as many other dear friends and family. She had a quick wit, a most amazing sense of humor and a beautiful laugh that will be missed so very much. She provided us with uncontrollable laughter and fun times. She was our queen of the casino, our champion of Rummikub, and our Best Friend. Patsy fought a hard battle against multiple diagnoses. In 2018 the Mayo Clinic (Rochester, MN) diagnosed her with Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) a neurodegenerative disorder that affected her balance, her ability to walk and her body movements. She was a trooper and as her diseases progressed, she bravely continued to travel to Rochester as a participant in the clinical trials with the hope of saving or improving the lives of others. Due to Patsy's generosity and dedication to neurological disease, the Mayo clinic, in conjunction with the expertise of Mike Gasper, was able to successfully procure the organs necessary to further the continuance of neurological research at the Mayo Clinic, making her final wishes a reality. Patsy is survived by her husband; her four children; nine grandchildren, Ryan (Angie) Duhaime, Lauren Duhaime, Whitney (Brian) Middleton, Britney (Chris) Booher, Courtney (Adam) Stewart, Nathan (Stephanie) Apperson, Patrick (Denise) Rooney; James Rooney, Kali Moffett, and fourteen great grandchildren, JP and Mason Deery; Bindi Middleton; Lucas, Ruby, and Hazel Booher; Simon and Maxwell Stewart; Jack, Charlie, Henry, Finn, Emma and George Rooney; her brother, Chester Wills, Jr. , her sisters-in-law, Ruth and Genevieve Wills; her brothers-in-law, Ronnie (Rachel), Randy (Karen), Dannie (Helen); and her nieces and nephews, whom she loved dearly. She was preceded in death by her parents, her brothers, Clarence and Steven Wills, her brother-in-law, Johnnie Moffett and her sister-in-law Rosemary Moffett. Memorial services will be held at Bass & Gasper Funeral Home (402 East Bennett Street, Westport, IN 47283). There will be a visitation held on Saturday, November 18th at 10:00 a. m. followed by a Service at 11:30 a. m. Memorial contributions made be made to the Mayo Department of Development (Attn: Dr. Keith Josephs Research Program, 200 First St SW. Rochester, MN 55905) Patsy would love to be remembered with funny or silly stories being shared as we celebrate her life and how very blessed we were to have her in ours.

Donald Hill

Age - 88

Donald Edward Hill Nov 29, 1934 - Oct 07, 2023 Age : 88 Columbus, IN Share : . . . Greensburg (Indiana) Daily News, February, 1951: "Adding drama to an already thrilling basketball game Saturday evening on the hardwood at Greensburg's Community Gym, the Jackson Tigers dethroned defending champion Greensburg 59 to 58 for their first sectional title. Don Hill added the drama as he was awarded a foul shot as the gun sounded. After discussing the play with the tourney timer the officials handed Hill the ball for the free chance on a personal foul ruling that would give Jackson the championship or put the game into an overtime. . . . After a last deep breath and gaze at the basket Hill dropped the spheroid through to end the game. . . In a few fleeting seconds, the Jackson team was surrounded by a solid mass of Jackson followers, who had held their breath in fear as Hill stepped to the line. . . Hill's free toss was still descending through the nets when the [600] Jackson fans jammed the floor. . . " Donald Edward Hill, who passed from this life on Saturday, October 7th, 2023, was born at home in Sardinia, IN November 29th, 1934, to Ross and Zula (Scroggins) Hill. He and his brothers, Jim and Tom, roamed the southern Decatur County countryside, hunting squirrels, pheasants, quail, rabbits, raccoons and other small game-mostly to feed the family and other poor neighbors during the post-Depression era. Don was an average student despite the painstaking efforts of his teacher, the late Emma Sherman. After he graduated from Jackson Township High School in 1952, he went off to the army to serve his country. He was stationed at Schofield Barracks on the island of Oahu, where he discovered pineapple, diving from waterfalls, and pretty girls. After his service, he went to work for Western Electric as an installer. Sometime after that, his brother Tom had a date with the beautiful Sherry Lynn Adams from Greensburg, IN. Sherry spied Don's military photo in Tom's wallet and asked, "Who is that?" She set her sights on the tall handsome man with the sleek '57 Chevy Bel Air. Don married Sherry on April 21, 1962. Their first home was a rental house at 13th and California Streets. When daughter Krista came along in 1963, they soon built a home in Sardinia next to his parents and lived there until August of 1973, when they moved to their home on Ridgeway Ave. in Columbus. Don was a member of the Masonic Lodge, having entered in at the Alert, IN lodge in 1958. He was a member of the CWA and retired from ATT Technologies. The skilled marksman loved hunting and fishing with his son Bryce, mushroom hunting, and German chocolate cake. Even more, he loved his only grandchild, George Ross Morpurgo, who spent many days with his beloved "Papa. " Don is survived by his children, Krista Hill (Bruce Giddings), Jackson, MI, his son, Bryce Hill, Indianapolis; grandson George R. Morpurgo, Bloomington, IN; nephews Troy (Judy) Hill of Westport, IN, Michael (Amy) Hill of Charlotte NC; nieces Peggy Hill Abney of Albuquerque, NM and Michelle Hill Hall of NC. He was preceded in death by his parents and brothers. Services for Don will be held at Bass and Gasper Funeral Home on Friday, October 20, 2023, with calling from 10am to 12pm and burial services, military rites following at Bear Creek Baptist Church Cemetery. The family asks that memorials be made to Shriner's Hospital for Children or to the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame. The family is eternally grateful that Don shared his secret mushroom hunting spot before he entered eternal life.
