Thank you Carol for the unwavering support you have shown me and my animals over the past 25 years. Never have I met another human being as compassionate and caring for animals and people alike. I was in my early 20’s when I first met you and you fast became a hero of mine. You encouraged me to work in animal welfare. When I decided to go back to college in my 40’s to become a cat behaviourist, you encouraged me more than my own mother could. You always took the time to explain medical issues in depth with me. You were an oracle of wisdom and my biggest supporter. You didn’t only teach me how to care for animals but you also taught me how to say goodbye to them. For that, I will be forever grateful. I have no doubt our cats will miss “auntie Carol” as much as I will. My deepest condolences to everyone who knew and loved her. The world just lost a legend.

We were honoured to call Carol Hill our family vet for almost 20 years. She was, without doubt, the most talented, caring and intuitive vet I have ever met. She greeted each animal like a little friend, and with her pockets full of treats and her complete focus on the wellbeing of her patients, as she sat down on the floor next to them, she made every animal feel safe, loved and cared for. She had a special soft spot for rescues, and as a result our bill upon leaving the practice was always a little light for it.
Both Mollie and Lottie adored her, and I would have chosen no one else to guide them to the conclusion of their lives.
My heartfelt condolences to her family, friends, and everyone at the practice.

Just the kindest , loveliest , empathetic lady there was , she put you at ease and nothing was too much trouble ,the original Mrs Doolittle who genuinely loved animals , She will be hugely missed
Sending love and thoughts to her family and staff x

Carol was the most amazing vet. She looked after our cat and our dog. I enjoyed seeing her for her expertise, care and attention to our family pets. And also simply because she was so lovely to be around. I always felt uplifted after seeing her. Not just because of gratitude for addressing whatever ailments had brought us to seek her help, but her warmth, good humour and delightful spirit was always a tonic. We will miss you Carol. Thank you for everything you did for our animals and for what your remarkable spirit did to us. Josette, Maisie, Millie and Milo. xxx

Dear dear Carol, you will be sorely missed, not only by me but also my two cats, the care you took of Joe, who you called “his lordship” was touching and 2nd to none. Thank you for the generous and sincere care of Joe & Ralphy over the years, and for the funny and interesting chats we had together. You will be remembered with love.

Sincere condolences to all of Carol’s family and friends.

Carol was such an amazing vet. She took time to get to know every animal. She had a soft spot for our cat Tiggy. Carol would always have a laugh when I brought in a stray animal. The look on her face when I brought in a chick we had at work was a picture. She will be missed but never forgotten.

I am so thankful. For you, Carol. For the times you and your family welcomed me into your home. Sarah has been a close friend for 25 years but not once did you ask why I was there at random times. Or if I was staying for dinner. At some of the hardest times in my young life you gave me hugs and said “just sit down”. The Christmas dinner, the random drop ins. Such warmth and kindness. You were incredible. You really were and always will be.

It was devastating news hearing Carol had passed. Carol has been our superloving caring Vet for at least 40 years. She has consoled me many times over the years by helped our lovely pets cross over to Pet Heaven. Carol will now be smiling down on us all surrounded by all the animals she has looked after over the years. She will be missed but will always have a place in my heart. Rest in Peace lovely lady.

I am truly saddened to hear you have passed. You looked after many of my dogs over 30+ years. You were one amazing vet, one amazing lady, one beautiful soul . Your dedication to your clients 4 legged or 2 is what made you the most wonderful vet and human being the likes of I am never likely to meet again in my lifetime and I wanted to thank you carol from the bottom of my heart. I wish you a safe and peaceful onward journey and my heart and love goes to your family and all at Hills ❤️

Carol was a life giver, a warm, funny, wonderful friend, an animal whisperer, a wise woman , amazing mother and grandmother, rubber woman when it came to yoga, and so much more. You will be deeply missed, dear Carol. Rest in peace

Carol the highlight of every week was our trip to Lucy’s yoga group. It was a scary drive, but we had such fun. Your love for your children and grandchildren and empathy and interest in mine , was the glue to our friendship. You made time for everyone, friends and animals. Always full of energy and ready to help make their lives better. You will be missed terribly , but I feel privileged to have had a friend like you for nearly forty years.

Bronwen and I find ourselves in the same stage of life as Carol and Tony when we joined the antipodean gang blessed by their extraordinary hospitality. Grove Ave serves as a model for us of the sort of home we want for our family and friends. We were so privileged to share Carol's love and care as the most amazing proxy Mum imaginable. The years have raced by but our memories of Carol are ever strong and treasured.

How lucky am I that my family moved next door to you. You became my Mum's best friend and the go to person for dog advice, man advice and child advice for me. When I left my ex, you just handed me a bundle of useful things for my totally empty, new home. Always on the end of a phone, if I needed help with Banjo. Always a big smile and warm hug when I came back home to visit. You were an exceptional human being and loved by everyone. You will be greatly missed by me and the boys. Thank you for everything you did for us. x

Dearest & most treasured Carole...Just struggling so much to believe & accept your not here anymore...Your amazing uniqueness,I’m sure could never be encountered in any other human being.Your thoughtfulness, kindness & generosity went above & beyond anything I’ve ever known,I look back on wonderful memories you created, just one example, when Mum was coming up to her 60th Birthday, you were on the phone with such splendid plans, tickets to The Lion King, spending the most wonderful weekend at Grove Avenue, your amazing food,I’ll never forget the chicken pie you made us,I’m sure the recipe originated from Claridges! It’s 18yrs on now & I still remember how delicious & the fabulous scrambled egg on the toasted “Dunnery” & on other occasions since, when you would nip out as we were stirring & return with the most spectacular croissants from “Maison Blancs” And showing us all the wonderful London sights, including a trip on “The Eye” & delights of Covent Garden-what an experience for us “country Bumpkins” everything so wonderful to experience & enjoy. I look around my home & garden & even my wardrobe & I’m adorned with such treasures you have gifted me over the years & even in February this year, when you certainly had enough troubles going on-yet another spectacular gift & card arrived in the post for my Birthday.Striding out walking “Star” dog you would call & your energy & enthusiasm was just oozing as always in your conversation...You will be forever be in our hearts & minds Carole, just can’t stop thinking about you...your beloved Warhurst Fold has just sprung to mind & how generous you were allowing us to stay there while we built our new home, we will be forever grateful, otherwise we may of been in a caravan or squashed in with in-laws,it was so perfect to be in your special & sentimental Derbyshire cottage, we could never thank you enough Carole..And finally my thoughts are so much with Sarah,Peter & Fiona & all your wonderful & treasured family, it’s beyond words how much you will be missed Carole, your unique sparkle, energy, love & zest for life & thoughtful care for those around you was truly phenomenal,Love you always, such “sunshine” XXX

Dear Carol,
It is truly devastating to lose you, especially so close after my own beloved Nan. I've only know you a year but we went though the apocalypse together haha, as soon as I started at Hills I felt like I was home; my home from home. All I can hope is that I can help Fiona continue your legacy in the best way I can. You will never be forgotten...as I told you you even delivered my best friends first dog when she was in primary school!! In buddhist belief we dont end we move from one energy to another; your atoms are surrounding Hills and your family forever there and being part of all you care about xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Oh Carol, I never imagined I would be writing this about you. You were so full of life and positivity that I thought you would go on for ever. In the 31 years I have known you, you were always there to give me support and advice. A shoulder to cry on, an ear to listen. Always a positive reponse when I felt I had a mountain climb and you diminished it to a mole hill. Working with you was such a pleasure as your rapport and empathy with clients and with their pets was so encouraging.
I remember seeing you doing a head-stand in the consulting room practising your yoga or doing your leg stretches on the table. You would breeze in on a Saturday lunchtime and organised chaos would erupt but we all knew that things would be sorted.
I am finding very hard to comprehend that I will not see you again but you will live forever in my heart and memories of which there are many.
Rest peacefully Carol but keep smiling that cheeky smile :)

Carol was a truly amazing and inspirational person. I have never met anyone who fitted so many things in a day. She was such a positive person so full of energy and enthusiasm. Many times I asked Carol's advice both in regard to myself and my animals and you could always rely on her no-nonsense, honest answer whilst at the same time showing incredible empathy. Her home exuded warmth and happiness and however busy Carol was, she always welcomed you in with open arms and a cup of tea. The world has lost a great soul and I personally will miss her very much.

Mum's are for ever - Carol, once met: for ever loved. A truly remarkable woman who somehow managed to combine all the attributes of a 'successful' woman with being a fantastic mum with three extraordinary children and yet never be short of time, energy and interest in just about any/everybody who entered her/their busy London lives - and make them feel special. SHE was special. For ever in SO many people's hearts. Sarah, Peter, Fiona: all our love to you. You know how we all feel.

Thank you, Carol,

Carol looked after my cats, and me, for the past 37 years. Her empathy, sympathy, humour and amazing skill were unparalled. A truly gifted vet and lovely woman who will be so very missed by so many people. My deepest sympathy to her family. RIP.

Carol,
You are an inspiration to everyone. By far the best boss I have ever had. You inspired me daily to do what I am doing. You was like a second grandparent to me. You will be sorely missed and I think everyone can agree how strong of a person you are. You will always be in my heart.

Carol was a wonderful person who filled the lives of all she touched with love and positivity. She made her home such a welcoming place of fun and laughter for all of us who were invited in. Her spark lit the fire in others. We will miss her dearly.

Carol was quite simply one of the most extraordinary people I have had the privilege to know. Without question, her friendship changed my life. She was astonishingly kind, courageous and supportive; a legendary host and excellent company, with a wicked sense of humour and an understanding of people that was deep and intuitive. She always had time for me, and an ability to make the world seem a better place. The kitchen at Grove Avenue became a second home for me, and Carol a second mother. It must have been over twenty years of Friday nights; an unmissable occasion that could see a dozen or more round the table, conversation flowing as liberally as the wine. In many ways it was an education in how to live and in the things that really mattered; family, love, friendship, laughter. Carol's inspiration will never be forgotten. She had so much energy and zest for life that she deserved to go on forever, but sadly it was not to be. I shall miss her more than words can say.

Carol was truly an astonishing woman; so loving, supportive, generous, wise and fun. I have often reflected (since arriving at Grove Ave in the early ‘90s as a friend of Tony’s cousin’s daughter!) on just what an incredible home Carol created – a home overflowing with love and fun. As so many have said, the door to Grove Ave was always open. Carol welcomed us all (and our friends!) handing us a glass of wine on the way in the door, making room at the table for Friday night Chinese takeaways, or a truly scrumptious roast on a Sunday night, and at the end of it all, offering a bedroom! I have many, many happy memories of crazy fun nights around that kitchen table, Christmas mornings, miraculous amounts of food appearing from out of that oven, walks up to Ally Pally with Carol, Fiona and the dogs, quiet late-night chats and just what it felt like to have a home away from home, at Grove Ave. I will always be so grateful to Carol for her love and generosity, and to Sarah, Peter, Fiona and Tony for sharing Carol with us all.

From the moment I became friends with Sarah I was welcomed into the Hill family bosom - and what a bosom it was - a menagerie of animals ( some in varying states of decrepitude) wandering in and out of that wonderful warm kitchen, alongside us kids, our friends, our parents and so many more along the way. Carol drove us on umpteen school runs- with panache ( speed!) and picked us up after many a teenage party, and nursed our first hangovers with her amazing food - always with a chuckle, and never a cross word. She came to all our school shows and sang with gusto at the Christmas concerts. There was always something magnificent to eat in the Hill kitchen - I worked my way through trays of her legendary lasagne, roast potatoes, Yorkshire puds and drunk her gravy from the jug - ( even when supposedly a vegetarian ) never had gravy as good as Carols - and the meringues ...heaven on a plate. I think of all the Christmases so kindly shared with me, when I couldn't face being with my own family, the snooker table groaning with food, hilarious games of Pictionary, and the obligatory Xmas film Tony would snore through ...
Carol was my other mother, who looked after me so selflessly when my mother was unable to - I will be forever grateful to be so included in every facet of her family's life. She showed me what a family should be - open, warm, so hugely generous and full of humour and vivacity. Whatever heartache I was going through I would just immediately feel better walking through that ( side) door. I always remember how she would tell me that Sarah, Peter and Fiona played together so beautifully when they were little she kept them off school until the last possible minute so they could carry on having fun without being separated. When I was with them I didn't feel like an only child anymore.
I had the privilege to say goodbye in person on Thursday. Carol was surrounded by such immense love - you could feel it in the room - ( and her the cat too) , and I was able to hold her hand and thank her for all she'd done for me over the years. I hope she heard me, this superwoman who was the beating heart of her children and grandchildren's lives. It is beyond gutting she is no longer able to stay with her beautiful family. Wherever she is now I hope its a kind and abundant place, just like her kitchen xxx

Carole was a much admired member of our Hampstead yoga class. A core group made up of friends with a common love of the practice of yoga. She was a loyal student who attended yoga three times a week for much of the last 20 years (or longer) - she had a great practice. She can be seen in some of the wonderful pictures on this memorial in a few different poses and impressively displaying her flexibility and strength.

I will remember her most for her amazing friendship with Pat. Always coming together - chatting, laughing and giggling before and after classes on their journey together. Sitting in a parked car outside a church in Gospel Oak so engaged that they were more often than not a little late even though they’d arrive before me.

Our class has supported each other through the vicissitudes of life and enjoyed the joys. Carole was key part of that network. Always admired for her abilities on the mat and loved for her light, laughter and presence. The words of our teacher Mr Iyengar are an appropriate description of Carole.

“Yoga is a light, which once lit, will never dim. The better your practice, the brighter the flame.”

Carole was a bright flame and I will miss her.

A chance meeting at the 345 Playgroup when Peter and Alexander were just about 1 year old led to the most amazing friendship which has lasted 47 years.There are so many memories too numerous to mention, but we did have the chance to talk about them over the last few months. There were times when our worlds were poles apart but our friendship has always been there. How lucky I am to have had you for a friend … kindness itself, the many laughs we had and boy, no one could sell a cat like you, whatever state it was in! I hope you knew how much I love you and always will. Always on my mind and in my heart. As I used to say in my nightly texts … Night night, love and hugs, Sue xxx

When we first moved up to North London from Devon, leaving many of our friends and family, we quickly found another family was ready to welcome us in Muswell Hill . The Hill family, the beating heart being Carol, with her no nonsense attitude, warmth and sense of fun made us (and many other 20 something waifs and strays) starting out in adult life , feel as if she was our friend and our ‘London mother ‘.
It seems impossible that one person could have touched and impacted on the lives of so many others. To give that time to so many young people is extraordinary, surely there must have been more than one of her to have been that rock in all those lives at once! was she a time traveller?

She was such a support when our first child was born and we were clueless, and made all kinds of mistakes, baby poo all over the the piano room in Grove Avenue was no big deal. !

Without Carol and Tony we would not have bought our first flat , or been able to drive an insured car come to that !
Her generosity was boundless, it was as if any friend of her children was a child of hers by default and therefore worthy of her nurture and support.
To say she will be missed seems an unworthy and bland statement, she will leave a huge unfilled gap in so many lives .
I feel sorry for those who did not encounter her with her spirit and passion for life , her legacy is that the people who did had their lives changed for the positive for ever.

Gosh, where do I start. I feel devastated for the whole hill family.
Carole was a real matriarch, an amazing role model, a fabulous grandmother and mum not just to her own children but to many other non family members, Craig and I included!
Without the Hills, Craig and I would never have been able to get on the property ladder in London.
She looked after me when Callum was born, taking care of me and my new baby ensuring I had a quiet space to feed and bringing me tea at one of the Hills party’s.
Lots of chats over the years some deep and meaningful others about baking!
She inspired me to do yoga, her flexibility was astounding.
Her door and heart were always open to any waif and stray that turned up human or animal. There always seemed to a a cat recovering from some surgery cuddled up in the kitchen.
Friday night dinners, singing songs around the piano, garden parties, Carole always there never overwhelmed by the amount of people just loving being part of it.
She will leave a massive hole in the family and it will be very hard, but what a legacy Carole leaves. Loved by so many, so many lives touched by her kindness, held by her family during her last days.
Rest in peace Carole
Xx

She was amazing her Christmas’s brought everyone together we when to bailiffscourt she payed organised looked after everyone on Monday cooked her sausages picked us up we will always remember her she changed everyone’s lives and tones of animal’s remember her forevermore

My dear, sweet, wonderful Mrs H. A truly amazing lady. It has been a privilege to have worked beside her for the past 22 years. She was also my very dear friend whom I loved so very much. Always been there for everyone, day or night. I will miss her words of wisdom, her wonderful sense of humour, her laughter - what a laugh, her calm, her generosity, her kindness, her knowledge, her gentle nature and empathy. Words don't do her justice. She touched some many lives.                           A very proud mother and grandmother. Such an amazing family. She lives on within them all.                         I will cherish the memories, many many laughs and tears that I have of my wonderful friend but my heart is truly broken.                        

Impossible to believe there won’t still be Carol, always grinning, seemingly in eight places at once. I swear I’ve seen her at the school gates, walked on up the road and found her ahead of me at the vets. She even popped up in my back garden once - magic. How she had time to look after her grandchildren, work, cook for everyone, hang out for chats is a mystery but she did it all brilliantly, and was lovely with it. What a force. What a wonderful person. Such mighty heart. Rest well, Carol, you will always be missed.

Sometimes it seems impossible that life can go on after a person dies. When that person has been pivotal to so many. Carol is one of these people. I only stood in the wings but I know Mum will miss her more than words can say. She will live on in so many peoples hearts. Thankyou Carol for your boundless energy, warmth, generosity and fun. And for making everybody feel special.

I’m sorry I didn’t know you. But I’ve heard so many wonderful things about you. Your strength of character, your hard work ethic, your kindness, your generosity, your intelligence & how you can pick up a cut down cereal box with your teeth every Christmas! You sound like an amazing person, Gran and mother. We will do everything at work to support your wonderful, kind, generous, sensible and courageous Sarah. Phil J

My Auntie Carol. My fairy godmother. My safe place. My hero. Always my first call; good news, bad news, no news. I lived my life safe in the knowledge that no matter what happened I could open that back door in Grove Avenue and I would instantly be sat at the table bathed in love, lamplight and lots of wine. And everything would be ok. Anytime of day or night. Now that is gone, and the world feels a darker, lonelier place. I am so lucky to have been her goddaughter; to have loved her and be loved by her. My heart is broken. I miss you already and I will miss you every day of my life. Love you xxxx

Carol has been special to me for over 25 years, even though I didn't see her often. But her warmth, kindness, generosity and hospitality enveloped me from the moment I first met her. I remember Friday night Chinese takeaways in our early twenties, where we would just pitch up and be welcome, find a space made for us at the table. Ditto a few delicious Sunday roasts. People, animals everywhere, food would just appear, and for me as a young adult it was a slice of home and a much-needed bit of mothering. Recently we saw her just once, on New Year's Eve a few years ago, and again she filled the room with her beautiful warm energy. So easy to talk to. Genuinely interested in us and the children, freely giving advice about some aspect of our dog's health we were worried about. Fun too, we laughed a lot. I have seen clearly from a distance how connected she was with her beloved family, her cherished children and grandchildren. You were her everything and she was your north star. And I am inspired to know that only two weeks ago she was working at the job she loved so much. She gave her all to this life. We are so glad to have known this lovely woman and we are deeply sorry for her loss.

Today the world lost a shining light and my heart is heavy. I don't think I know anyone else who has managed to make such a difference to as many people's lives as the wonderful lady that was Carol Hill. Without her and Tony's generosity when I left Uni, welcoming me into their home, putting up with my attempts to eat them out it, and doing everything they could to help set me up as I embarked upon a mad plan to make a living from music, I know with absolute certainty my life would have been completely different. Her generosity, her wisdom, her support, and her amazing hugs made such a difference to my life that it's impossible to do it justice in words. She had time for everyone, always a good story to share or sound advice to impart, and the unerring ability to show up just when you needed her most. I can't imagine Muswell Hill without Carol at the centre of it - and I feel privileged to have known and loved her.

I love you soo much, you all ways brought me so many nice clothes. You’re so energetic you’re always up and about ,you shine lighter than a star and you always put a smile on my face even when I am feeling down. I don’t know what I will do with out you. You will always be there above my shoulder telling me the answers. That Christmas tradition that I’ll never forget with all those stockings with all our names on and filled to the brim with all presents and that scrumptious orange at the bottom of the stocking I want to tell you that you will always be in my heart you are the best granny ever and I love you sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much love Alba your favourite granddaughter

It is with great sadness that I heard of Carol’s passing. My time spent at her family’s home in Muswell Hill holds a very special place in my heart. Carol was an extraordinary lady with a huge heart. Martin and I will always be profoundly grateful for the kindness and generosity she and Tony showed us in our time of need all those years ago. Amongst many other things, she gave us a place to stay when we were homeless and then later, made it possible for us to buy our first home. She was a wonderful listener and a source of guidance and unlimited support. I have not met anyone like her since.

Carol always had time for everyone. Her hospitality was second to none. The house was, as a rule, filled with laughter and people from all walks of life on a Friday for curry or Chinese take away and on most Sundays for phenomenal roast dinners! Youngsters would turn up and she would just invite everyone to stay. How she ever managed it... I will never know.

I have so many wonderful memories of Carol. She was a force of nature with a real zest for life, a passion for her family, her work and all creatures great and small. In the time that I spent living in Grove Avenue, Carol inspired me to be a better person and I feel truly blessed to have known her. 

Rest in peace Carol.

Since I first met her as a teenager. I cannot remember anyone full of such warmth, compassion and humanity than Carol. Always an open door. Always there to help. Always welcoming. The world is poorer for her no longer being amongst us.

Carol was one the most amazing people I ever had the privilege to know. I can honestly say that my life would have been significantly more empty without her. She always had time, patience, positivity, empathy, generosity and love in abundance for those who were lucky enough to come within her significant sphere of influence. To me, she was a 2nd mother, a mentor, a friend, a confidant, and a guide. She had the ability to know what to do and what to say in absolutely any situation. Even 20 years after I was lucky enough to live at Grove Avenue, I still found myself calling Carol when I needed some advice or a "feel good" chat!
If, in my lifetime, I can achieve 1 per cent of the incredible effect that Carol has had on so many lives, then my life will be fuller than I could possibly wish for. This wonderful lady will never be forgotten, loved by so many she will live on forever in our hearts. My hope is that she rest in peace, knowing this.

Granny was the most amazing granny I could ever ask for. She would always be there on a Monday afternoon after school with a half a dozen jelly babies and a marmite sandwich. The famous sausages and chips were the best thing, and I will keep them in my memory forever. I loved her generosity, her strong opinions, and her strength. Every time I was lost for words, and had no idea what to say, granny would always have something to say, and something to make me laugh. I honestly don’t know what I’m going to do now on a Monday afternoon, and I don’t know who will get me my designer clothes from fennicks.
I miss you already granny, I love u more than life itself.
Rest well.

I love you from Pluto and back

From favourite Grandaughter

I love you, from Arlo.

I’m not sure how I can possibly sum up my feelings for Carol. She was, as she was for so many of us, my London mum. She was just always there - the only person (with the exception of Sarah) who I could call any time of day or night, knowing that she would know what to do and would - seemingly willingly - do it! She picked us up from wherever we found ourselves at whatever time; she would appear at my bedside when I was ill with the thing I never knew I needed but which instantly helped; she seemed constantly prepared for the arrival of 15 or so extra people for dinner, never showing surprise and certainly never suggesting it would have been nice to be warned; she took the term ‘open house’ to a whole new level, welcoming us all and anyone tagging along; she supported me in every way possible, through thick and thin; she is responsible for Lars’s arrival in time for the birth of our 2nd child, with a whole 10 minutes to spare, driving him through the streets of North London in, for him, an unforgettable and totally ‘Carol’ way.
Most importantly, she taught me that most things can be made better by a good dose of love, which she gave out with her usual unconditional generosity. A hug from Carol always helped. I wish I could have one now.
