Eda was happiest when surrounded by her family, and she found great joy in watching her children and grandchildren grow.

Eda Carol Hill suddenly passed away on September 27, 2026 at the age of 67. She was born January 13, 1959, in Provo, Utah, to Stanley and Carol Tippetts. She was raised in Orem, Utah, and graduated from Orem High School in 1977 where she was involved with the Tigerettes Cheer team, played the clarinet, and made many lifelong friendships. She attended Snow College for two years before transferring to Utah State University, where she earned a Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education and Elementary Education, as well as a Master’s degree in Reading.

Eda married Allen Reed Hill, on October 8, 1987 after reconnecting at their 5-year high school reunion. They were later sealed in the Salt Lake Temple on November 28, 1988. Eda and Allen shared nearly 39 years of marriage and built a beautiful life together.

Eda and Allen had three children: Michael, Christopher, and KayLeigh. They raised their family in Orem where they lived for 31 years in the home they built together. Eda was happiest when surrounded by her family, and she found great joy in watching her children and grandchildren grow. She loved planning family vacations and created countless cherished memories, often taking the family to Disneyland and Tuacahn. Eda loved the excitement and wonder of those experiences, and she never stopped chasing the magic.

Eda devoted more than 33 years of her life to education in the Alpine School District. Teaching was more than a career for Eda—it was a way for her to make a difference in the lives of children, and she loved seeing them learn and grow. Eda loved to keep in touch with many of her students and remembered their names years down the road. Her children often joked with her that they couldn’t go anywhere without being stopped by a student she had taught.

Outside of her career, Eda found happiness in the simple things. She loved reading, cooking, gardening, and canning.

Her food became one of the ways she expressed her love for the people around her, and many of her recipes and traditions will continue to be passed down through her family.
