RIP Tiffany Ojeda Hill
RIP Tiffany Ojeda Hill.
Tiffany was from Brooklyn. She attended PS 131 in Borough Park, Mckinley Junior High School and John Dewey High School. She became a Marine.
Being in the military, took her to other states and for the past three years she lived in Vancouver Washington with her three children.
Yesterday, Tiffany Ojeda Hill was killed in front of her mother and three children in the parking lot of Sarah Anderson Elementary School. Her estranged husband, Keland Hill shot her and her mother and then later after police chased him, he shot and killed himself. Thankfully, Tiffany’s mother is alive. Story here and here.
Tiffany had a domestic violence protective order against her estranged husband. In the request, Tiffany wrote, “I fear for my life,” adding that her husband “is getting angrier” and that “if he had a gun he would definitely use it against me.” Keland Hill had previously been arrested for violating the proctive order, placing a tracker on Tiffany’s car and following her.

Tiffany was a mother of three, a daughter, a sister, a friend and a Marine veteran. Her sister went to Washington to identify Tiffany (so awful), take care of Tiffany’s children who were placed in protective custody and see her mother at the hospital! Prayers for strength for Tabitha. (See here)
A GoFundMe Account was made to help Tiffany’s children. See here.
Tiffany’s sister, Janice wrote: “Something has to change, domestic violence is real, laws need to change.

RIP Tiffany. Prayers for her family.
Tiffany’s obituary read:
USMC Sgt. Tiffany Ojeda Hill

USMC Sgt. Tiffany Ojeda Hill was born on April 16, 1984 in
Maimonidies Hospital in Brooklyn, NY. Tiffany is survived by her
parents, Aurea Conde and Jesus Ojeda Jr. Tiffany was a great sister and
friend to her six remaining siblings: Janice Ojeda, Tabitha Ojeda, Denise
Ojeda Rivera, Jesus Ojeda Jr III, Stephany Ojeda, and Matthew Ojeda.
Tiffany was an amazing, special, loving & caring mother to her four
beautiful children: Kayla Autumn Hill, Cameron David Hill, Jasmine Elise
Hill, and now, today we can say, she has been reunited with her
heavenly princess, Autumn Hailey Hill.
In addition, on her mother’s side, she leaves behind her loving
grandfather, Angelo Conde. Also, on her father’s side, her loving
grandparents, Iris Diaz and Jesus Ojeda Sr.
She also leaves behind a loving extended family, which includes
aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, godchildren, and cousins (who some of
them she treated and loved as her nieces & nephews). Tiffany also had
many friends in the military. These service men and women became a
support for her, and their brotherhood/sisterhood were very important
to her. We are so grateful for their service to our country and to
Tiffany. She also leaves behind a great & loving community of friends &
supporters, who she referred to as her “village”, from North Carolina to
Maryland to Washington State. These people were there for her and
supported her in every possible way in her time of need. They were her
friends who became close friends who would eventually become like
family to her.
As a little girl, Tiffany went to P.S. 131 Elementary School. She
later spent her Junior High School years at McKinley JHS. She later
spent her high school years at John Dewey HS. In 2005, Tiffany decided
to join the US Marine Corps. In 2007, she is deployed to serve In Iraq
and there she serves for 2 years. During her service time, she received
service awards, which include, The Marine Corps Good Conduct Medal,
The National Defense Service Medal, The Iraq Campaign Medal, The
Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, and The Navy Sea Service
Deployment. In 2008, she is honorably discharged for injuries she
suffered during her time in service.
Tiffany was an amazing person! She had the sweetest soul. A
gentle spirit. She always looked to serve others. She volunteered on the
PTA at all of the kids’ schools. She would cook, bake, or serve in
whatever was needed to be done. A true servant!
Her greatest joy, are her three beautiful children. They were, and
will always continue to be, her greatest loves! They each have a unique
part of her and of who she is. They will always remember her for her
love, kindness, grace, and unconditional support that she showed them
in everything that they wanted to try to do. She was their biggest
cheerleader! However, they will also remember her for always being
their biggest defender & greatest protector. She will always be
remembered for her bravery, courage, and grace during her times of
service to our country. However, she also displayed those qualities in
the way she conducted herself in life, when she faced the toughest of
challenges. Always the soldier…. Always a mom….
You will forever live in our hearts! You will forever be loved!
You will forever be missed! Until we meet again our sweet Tiffany!
May your soul rest in peace in the loving arms of Your Savior &
Lord. Amen!
Hugs,
