Jerry Lynn Hill was born on April 20, 1942, in Oklahoma City to
Charles Joe and Mabel (Goff) Sykora. She passed away on Monday,
March 25, 2024, at the Oklahoma Heart Hospital, Oklahoma City,
at the age of 81.
Jerry Lynn lived most of her life in Love County and graduated
from Greenville High School. She was known to laugh and smile
all the time, and it was said that they knew what class Jerry
Lynn was in at Greenville, because you knew her laugh from the
hallway. She knew how to make everyone feel special, and
everyone loved her.
Jerry Lynn married Billy Clifford Hill in Ardmore on October 12,
1957. They had a love for each other and were proud of their
children and loved spending time with all their family,
especially their grandchildren and great-grandchildren. They
were inseparable until Jerry Lynn lost Bill on September 20,
2018.
Jerry Lynn was a great cook and had several travels and
entrepreneur adventures through the years she cherished. She
owned and operated a gas station/grocery store and one of the
first daycares in Marietta. She also owned and operated a
hamburger stand, a fudge shop, and a t-shirt shop, The Bulletin
Board. Jerry Lynn also had a 15-year career in
telecommunications and retired from Sprint in 2006 to move to
Washington State. Jerry Lynn and Bill relocated back to Oklahoma
in 2011 after many fun travels throughout the west coast. She
loved playing dominoes, watching her streaming shows, reading
her special novel series, and watching sports, especially
football, and was fond of several of the quarterbacks in the
NFL. She loved watching Aaron Rogers, Jarod Goff, Ben
Roethlisberger, and Tom Brady, but her favorite of all was
Patrick Mahomes.
Jerry Lynn was a collector. She loved collecting dishes,
cookbooks, and cake plates and would often send them home with
some with a special treat on them. Again, she knew how to make
everyone feel special. It was a natural gift that she possessed.
Jerry Lynn was preceded in death by her parents; husband; and
brother and sister-in-law, Charles and Peggy Sykora.
Those left to carry on Jerry Lynn's legacy are her sons, Mike
Hill and wife Kristy of Overbrook and Bobby Joe Hill of
Marietta; daughters, Cyndia Olive and husband Bobby of Lone
Grove, Teena Birdsall and husband Scott of Owasso, and Billie
Brush and husband Dan of Woodinville, Washington; grandchildren,

Ellie, Caiden, Alexander and Casten; brother, Ernie Sykora and
