Penny Jo Hill
( July 30, 1959 - June 25, 2017 )
Penny Hill passed away unexpectedly in her sleep Sunday, June 25, 2017.
Penny Jo Voegele was born July 30, 1959 in Aberdeen, SD to Judy and Edward Voegele. She was the oldest of her siblings, Tim and Laura. The family moved to Rapid City when she was two years-old, where she spent most of her life.
Penny graduated from Central High School in 1977. Following graduation, she worked at First National Bank. In 1985 she married Terry Hill and to this union two children were born, Brianna and Dana Hill.
Penny became a real estate appraiser in 1982, joining her parents at Black Hills Appraisal. Penny and Terry moved to Olathe, Kansas, for a few years, then transferred back to Rapid City where she re-joined Black Hills Appraisal where she remained until the time of her death.
Penny was a passionate fan for her children’s many activities, including softball, golf, Prima dance, and Post 22.
Penny lived life to the fullest. Although her time was cut short, she made the most of each day. Penny enjoyed golfing, traveling, hiking, skiing, dancing, biking, and going to the lake. Penny could often be seen at downtown Summer Nights. Penny was an avid concert goer. Penny’s radiating smile will be missed by all who knew her.
Her greatest joys in life were her children and her granddaughter, Brooklynn. The two shared a very special bond. Penny loved shopping dates with Brooklynn and enjoyed being Brooklynn’s chauffeur for her countless dance classes. Penny was an adoring mom and grandma.
She is survived by her children, Brianna (Rapid City), Dana (Billings, MT), granddaughter Brooklynn, parents Bob and Judy Lewis (Rapid City), sister Laura Corrigan (Rapid City), Tim and Pam Voegele (Rapid City), step-brothers Kevin (Lori) Lewis (Rapid City), Eric Lewis (Colorado Springs, CO) and Chad Lewis (Rapid City), ex-husband Terry Hill, numerous nieces and nephews, and best friend Joni Cook. She leaves behind countless dear friends.
She was preceded in death by her father, Edward Voegele, her maternal and paternal grandparents.
