Etta Hilton
Our mother, Etta Ezell Hilton, joined Daddy in Heaven on Feb. 19, 2014.
Everyone will remember Etta for her quick wit and the twinkle in her eyes.

She married Bill Hilton on March 24, 1945. After living a short while in Bastrop, Texas, they moved to Lo
ckhart, where they made their home and raised their four daughters. She lived the last year and a half in San Angelo, Texas.
Etta is preceded in death by her husband, William J. Hilton, and son-in-law, Harvey Reeves.
She is survived by her daughters, Nora Buswell and her husband, Rick, Nan Reeves, Linda Hilton and Melissa Hilton. Other survivors are her grandchildren, Monica Irwin, Mandy Shirley, Bradley Reeves, Ryan Reeves, Hillary Wysong, Audrey Brown and seven great-grandchildren.
The graveside service will be in the Lockhart City Cemetery at 1:30 on Saturday, Feb. 22, 2014.
In lieu of flowers please make donations to Salvation Army or to Water for All, in care of Southland Baptist Church, 4300 Meadow Creek Trail, San Angelo, Texas 76904.
We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. 2 Corinthians 5:8.
To Etta’s Family:
I am very saddened to hear of her passing. We became good friends at Chisholm Trail and shared our love of reading. I will always cherish the time I knew her. My prayers are with you!
We are all saddened by the loss of your mother. Our prayers are with you all.
All of us at Chisolm Trail loved your Mother dearly. She was such a delight. I’m sure she brought joy to everyone who knew her. So sorry for your loss.
Thank you, Francis. We do miss her dearly but know that she is happy to be home with our Daddy and Jesus.
