Annie “Ann” Hilton of Ocala, Florida passed away on June 1, 2026 at 100 years old, two months after the love of her life and husband for 48 years, John “Frank” Hilton.

The last of 9 siblings and the baby girl of the family, she grew up in Rocky Hill, CT before moving to sunny Florida where she waitressed. When she wasn’t baking cakes, she most enjoyed crafting and knitting. She also loved her peppermint candies, and spending time with her beloved family. Annie always had a good story to share with a smile on her face and a kind laugh.

She is survived by many nieces and nephews and a step daughter, Stavana E. Hilton Reed. She truly will be missed by her niece Joyce Valeggia and Doreen Frascarelli who enjoyed many good times with her and conversations on the phone.
