Carol (King) Hill, 82, of Denver, Colorado, passed away on April 1, 2022. She lived a very passionate life until her caring heart began to weaken. People enjoyed being around her fun-loving nature, especially the three children she successfully raised on her own.

Carol was born on January 9, 1940, in Raton, New Mexico to parents Joseph and Angelina Radosevich who emigrated from Serbia. Carol was the youngest of 4 siblings, one deceased brother Anthony Radosevich, one deceased sister Mary Richmond, and one surviving sister Georgina Fowlie.
Carol lived in many New Mexico towns (Raton, Belen, Albuquerque, Farmington, Espanola, and Elephant Butte) which explains her craving for red and green chili and her talent for making the best tamales. In her later life, she uprooted to Colorado (Evergreen and Denver) to be near her family.
Carol had a tremendous desire for learning and she didn’t shy away from the computer age or the use of a smartphone. She loved quilting, music, country and polka dancing, all facets of gambling (horse and greyhound racing, casinos, bingo, and Texas Hold Em), playing card games, and Scrabble.
She was Grandma Carol to her grandkids who loved her unfiltered mind, her spontaneity, and her darn good cooking.

At her request, there will be no immediate funeral or memorial. Instead, a celebration of life (Carol always threw one heck of a party) will be held July 30th, 2-5 pm at Dakota Lodge, Littleton Colorado. For more details email gkelley1017@icloud.com.
I am very sorry for your loss. I will miss her also
She was a good friend to me. She called everyday and we’d have some good talks.
