DONALD WILLIAM HILL
April 13, 1946 - February 1, 2023


We are saddened to announce the peaceful passing of Donald William Hill, on February 1, 2023.
Don is survived by son Erin (Odilia) and their children, Katia and Tatyanna; son Kristjan (Elise) and their children, Emilie, Alica (Michael) and their daughter Wren, Marc and Lucas; and son Robert (Quinn) and their children, Brody, Ryder and Olivia; special friend Sandra; and bonus children, Wendy, and Christine (son Gavin).
Don was predeceased by his loving wife Mary of 53 years in 2020, and his parents, Charlie and Emma Hill.
Don was born in Pine Falls, Manitoba on April 13, 1946 and grew up in Seven Sisters Falls, where he met Mary, whose family had a cabin nearby. Don and Mary were married on May 19, 1967 and were blessed with three sons, Erin, Kristjan and Robert. Don worked up north for a time, later working at Atomic Energy before starting Don Hill Construction, which became a well-known name in the Whiteshell area. Don worked hard and was good at what he did, with many of his customers over the years becoming lifelong friends.
After Mary's passing, Don kept busy by continuing to care for their large garden, canning, making perogies, baking bread, buns and his famous cookies - which he shared with many of us.
Special thanks to Dr. Partyka, and the staff at Pinawa Hospital for their care and compassion during Don's final days.
Cremation has taken place and a private family interment will be held at a later date.

  • Our condolences to Don’s family and close friends. We met Don through our neighbours Ken and Lori at Otterfalls. He always had advice for me (Lynn), even if I didn’t want it lol. But listening got me a few pieces of pie! He was a great baker. - Posted by: Lynn and Bob (Friends) on: Feb 15, 2023

  • So sorry to hear of Dons passing . He was a lifelong friend of our family . He had a distinct laugh that always made you laugh with him. When we were at the lodge he bailed us out of trouble on many occasions. Seeing him and Gordie Z collecting and cooking off maple syrup was always a hilite of spring and you knew that summer was just around the corner when those 2 old codgers fired up the cooker . He will be missed by many, us included . - Posted by: Pat and Irene Blaney (Friends ) on: Feb 04, 2023
