Abigail Joy Hill

Abigail Joy Hill, born July 31st, 2003, was tragically killed in a head on collision on Hwy 395 on Father’s Day June 15th, 2025. She is survived by her father (Dan Hill), mother (Theresa Hill), and 5 siblings (Teresa Polensky, Brett Hill, Elizabeth Moshe, Carissa Curtis, and Jason Hill), as well as many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews. She will be severely missed by all!

Abigail was the last born of a big family, and had a heart of gold. She was always the first person to help out wherever/ whenever she could, and had a love for all things furry (especially dogs and cats). She was a brilliant artist, gardener, and photographer. She enjoyed all things nature, and loved going hiking and camping trips. She lived up to her name (which means Father’s Joy), and spread joy and kindness wherever she went. Her smile was contagious, and she always had hugs to spare.

Abigail’s memorial will be held at DAA Norwthwest Auction Barn
2215 S Hayford Rd Spokane, WA
on Friday June 27th from 5pm- 7:30 pm.

In lieu of flowers the family asks that you consider donating to one of the following (or rescue/ animal sanctuary of your choice). Abigail was an avid animal lover, and would want to help our local/small rescues.
