Exie Hill

            Mrs. Exie Hill, 85, of Austintown, entered eternal life on Sunday, January 13, 2019 at her home with her loving daughter at her side.

            She leaves to cherish her memory, her daughter, Donna (Arthur) Turner of Youngstown; her loving grandchildren, Annette (Darren) Perdue and Arthur “Arty” Turner Jr. both of Indianapolis, IN; two great grandchildren, Darren “DJ” and Jalen “J-Paul” Perdue  both of Indianapolis; her sister, Rosetta Young of Campbell; goddaughter, Denise Smith-Houston; godson, David (Terah) Leonard; sisters-in-law, Sylivia Cask, Mary Smith, Kathy Underwood, Lula Jackson; and a host of nieces, nephews, family and friends, including two special friends, Juanita Davis and Earlene London.
