Jeanette (Fralick) Hill
April 23, 2017
Jeanette Hill, 87, passed peacefully at home, surrounded with love, on Sunday afternoon. A lifelong resident of Syracuse, Jennie attended North High and upon graduation worked for Great American Insurance Company for 25 years, then owned and operated Creative Concepts Printing with her husband and daughter. Jennie was a long-time member of Syracuse Turners, the Arion Stein Club, and the German-American Society of CNY. She was an avid reader, bowler, and champion horseshoe pitcher having competed in two World Horseshoe Pitching Tournaments. Jennie was also a twelve-time New York State Senior Champion in horseshoes, and won a Gold and Bronze medal in the Senior Olympics held in Pittsburgh and Baton Rouge, respectively. She was most proud, though, of her family and friends. To know Jennie was to love her, and to be known by Jennie was to be loved by her.
Jennie is survived by her loving husband of 65 years, J. Edward Hill; her beloved daughter and son-in-law, Katie and Tim Frazee; her greatest gifts, grandchildren Emily and Matthew Frazee; and many beloved nieces and nephews. The family wishes to extend heartfelt thanks to the Youngs and Keeffes, the Wright family and Amber Zimmer, and all who showed their love and kindness throughout Jennie's life.
