Laura Dean Hill Gavin, “Dean”, joined her Lord and Savior on Thursday, April 21, 2022, just nine days shy of her 93rd birthday. She was born to Samuel Henry Hill and Dora Alma Vice Hill on April 30, 1929 in rural Alabama. Dean married the love of her life, Bill Gavin, in 1947, and together they had two beautiful daughters: Judy Ann Gavin and Sandra Kay Gavin. She loved the Lord and was a member of Springhill Baptist Church in Mobile for over 66 years, where she taught Sunday School and sang in the choir. Dean retired from Mobile County Probate Court after twenty years of service. She absolutely loved flowers, and loved working in her yard. Dean handmade several dolls over the years, and enjoyed making the clothes for them as well. She was a firecracker, had a great sense of humor, and was well loved. She will be greatly missed.
Dean joined her husband, William Slater Gavin; her parents; three brothers, Charles Gray Hill, Herbert Clayton Hill, and Earnest Raymond Hill; and her son-in-law, Terry Joe Davis.
She is survived by her two daughters, Judy Gavin Giles (Joseph) and Sandra Gavin Davis; four grandchildren, Lauren Elizabeth Davis, Wendy Leigh Giles, Christopher Rollin Giles (Tami), and Patrick Gavin Giles (Jaimee); six great-grandchildren, Taylor Gavin Davis, D.J. Douglas, Katherine Giles, Nathan Giles, Xander Franklin, and Lela Ann Giles; as well as a host of nieces, nephews, and other cherished family and friends.
Visitation for Dean will be held on Thursday, April 28, 2022 from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. at Pine Crest Funeral Home in Dauphin Island Parkway in Mobile, with a chapel service immediately following. Interment will be in Pine Crest Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the Spring Hill Baptist Church Music Ministry in honor of Dean.
