JAMES EMORY HILL

James Emory Hill, 83, of Donalsonville, passed away on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, at his home.  He was a member of the Miller County High School Class of 1961 and retired from Georgia Pacific, Cedar Springs, after working 38 years in the shipping department.

James was a quiet, God-fearing man who lived a simple life.  He loved his farm in Miller County and took much pride in turning over the care of the land to his dear friends, Roger Wayne and Jo Davis.  They were family to James.

In his retirement, James enjoyed genealogy research that he gladly shared with others and collecting old country compact discs.  He found much joy in his daily lunches at Jos' Restaurant in Donalsonville.  Jo and her staff treated James like family, making sure he had delicious meals even on days they were closed.

Per James' request, no funeral service will be held.  He will have a private burial next to his beloved parents, Lee Addison Hill and Esther Florence Overstreet Hill, at Union Primitive Cemetery in Miller County.
