Memaw will be dearly missed by all who knew her. Her wit and love for life will always be a special memory. Many will miss her in-depth Bible knowledge along with her Bible teaching.
Hila is survived by one daughter, Julie Poole Friday and her husband Tom, along with four grandchildren; Joshua Poole, Amber Friday, Jacob Poole, and Nathanael Friday. Memaw is also survived by five great-grandchildren; Madison Poole, Jaxon Poole, Kade Friday, Riely Poole, and Reagan Poole.
Hila was preceded in death by her husband, Jerry Poole; parents, John and Mary Horton; and her son, Johnny Poole.
