Zee Rae Yates Hill: 1941-2015

It is with deep regret that Washington State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) Allyson Brooks and all DAHP staff announce the passing on April 23rd of our former Administrative Assistant Zee Hill. Zee began working for DAHP (then the Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation) in 1998 and remained with the agency until her retirement in April of 2012. For anyone who visited or called the office during that time, Zee was unforgettable. Her broad grin, big hair, and warm sense of humor endeared her to all who passed through the office door. Zee's family has scheduled a memorial service this Saturday (May 2nd) from noon to 3:00 pm at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at 9431 4th Avenue NE in Olympia.

In true Zee fashion, guests to the memorial are encouraged to wear bright colors and wear lots of "bling."
