Rev. Booker T. Hill entered this world on January 13, 1947, in Macon MS to Henry &

Nancy B. Williams Hill. He accepted Christ as his personal savior at a young age and

joined EL Bethel M.B. Church where he remained a lifetime member, serving as a

deacon. He attended school for 6 years until entering the workforce at a very young age

to assist his parents with raising their family. He began his career in several different

fields such as a bag boy in the local grocery store, Chef at Western Sizzlin & Shoney's,

Beneke, and then Baldor Electric for 35 years, later serving as a Supervisor until

his retirement.

Rev. Hill was a talented man. His skillful hands not only helped him in the industry, but in

everyday life as a farmer, hunter and a fisherman (his 2 favorite hobbies) and as a carpenter. His land

provided quality vegetables to people all around the Golden Triangle Area, to

include across the state line into Alabama. He was well known for delicious Red

Tomatoes that only he could grow, and the neighbors, Mr. Shaw and Mr. Shepherd could

never figure out just how in the world, he was able to make those tomato stalks grow 6

ft tall in his tomato patch. That was between Rev. Hill and the Good Lord above. It was

always his one request to the Lord, to make him a "Feeder of the people of the land"

and that he was.

That also went for fishing, his other hobby. Every year in the Spring when the

Buffaloes would run over at the Buffalo Hole on Gardner Blvd. for 2 weeks, he could be

found right there daily racking them in. He would catch, clean, cut, deep freeze and sell

to neighbors and friends he knew, that were looking for Buffalo Fish to eat as well.

As a hunter, he had several hunting buddies from the neighborhood and

Baldor..The Bradleys, Mr. Shaw, Jr. Shepherd, Dave, Larry Manning, Cuzzin Oodie,

Cuzzin Issac, Uncle Bud, and a range of other family, friends and neighbors. If he came

with something or nothing, he was fine with it; shared what was caught, and always had

a funny story to tell behind it. That was Him. Friends and Family.

Rev. Hill accepted his ministry on 11 April 2010 and after having associated minister

under Rev. Jones, at EL Bethel, became a Pastor of Muldrow Baptist in Starkville, MS,

where he ministered for 10 plus years until COVID-19 pandemic.

nieces, nephews and other relatives and friends.

He will also be missed by his 2nd family, his late wife's family the Billups of whom he

was truly loved and adored by as well. And Rev. Hill loved them just the same if not

more.

Rev. Hill was a God Fearing Man of true love and compassion who was always saying

to "Keep God in the front of whatever you do" and "Don't worry, be happy".
