Kelly A. Hillman

Kelly A. Hillman passed away suddenly on October 7, 2025, at the age of 40. She was born on January 16, 1985 in Philadelphia.

Kelly grew up in Fishtown, where she was raised in a loving home by parents who cherished their family and each other. Deeply devoted to her family, Kelly shared an especially close bond with her mother and sister, who were also her best friends. She was an incredible and loving mother whose children adored her and were never far from her side. She was always showing how proud she was of her boys. They were her greatest accomplishments. Kelly had a generous heart — she would give you anything she could, and what she lacked in material things, she more than made up for with her warmth, kind words, and genuine encouragement. She had a sweet tooth and was never one to turn down any dessert. It was her little guilty pleasure.

Kelly is the beloved daughter of Eileen (nee Mason) and the late Robert Hillman. Devoted mother of Shawn Caroll, Jayce Hillman, and Noah Hillman. Dear sister of Robert Hillman (Lisa), Michael Hillman (Kelly), Anissa Hillman (Rob), and Brian Hillman. Loving aunt of Diane, Michael, Alisha, Brittney, Jacqlynn, and great aunt of Aaliyah, Isabella, Joey, and Mason. Sadly missed by her aunts, uncles, cousins, and the father of her children John Towns. 

Relatives and friends are invited to her viewing and funeral Thursday October 16, 2025 beginning at 7pm in the Hubert M. McBride Funeral Home 2357 East Cumberland Street Philadelphia, PA 19125, followed by her funeral service at 8:30pm.
