"He loved anything with wheels."
Son of Gloria (Critchlow) and Ldeen Hill
Obituary:
RANDEL DEEN HILL, 50, of Ponca City, Oklahoma, passed away on September 6, 2011. He was born on October 29, 1960, in Shattuck, Oklahoma to Ldeen and Gloria (Critchlow) Hill.
Randel grew to adulthood in Laverne with two elementary grades in Pampa, Texas, graduating from Laverne in 1979. Along with friends, family farms, and Grandparents, he enjoyed FFA, Golf, and everything with wheels.
The family lake place gave Randel joy for 43 years. He spent this summer updating it with the expertise of specialists in the area.
As much as he loved driving anything with wheels, his real joy was the challenge of working on vehicles. Randel went to Okmulgee Tech for mechanic school and loved the work. He was a contract relief pumper in Texas, and a contract roustabout at the Laverne Sun Gas plant.
Randel and Debra Hill welcomed daughter, Erika Jean Hill to the family in 1984.
In 2006 Randel and Janet Dunster, along with Tyler and Wade, were blessed with the birth of Carly Marie Hill.
Randel became a Grandfather in 2010 with the birth of Erika's and Anthony's son, Jace Aiden Ruiz.
Randel was preceded in death by his father, Ldeen Hill; grandparents, Gilbert and Opal Hill, Ernest Critchlow and Mary Critchlow Best; Uncles Loren Hill, Everett and Raymond Critchlow, and Casey Bruce.
Surviving Randel are Janet, Tyler and Wade Dunster; daughters, Erika Jean Hill and Anthony Ruiz, Carly Marie Hill: grandson, Jace Aiden Ruiz; mother, Gloria Hill: sister, Linda Schwinn, brother-in-law, Lyman Schwinn; nephews, Kyle, Jeanne, and Jaxson Taylor and Kalon Taylor; cousins, Kelton and Gina Hill, Kenyon Hill, Mike Bruce, Debra Bruce; aunt, Goldie Bruce.
