Constance Elizabeth Hill, née Pitts, passed away on Saturday, September 12, 2026, in Goodlettsville, Tennessee. Born February 26, 1951, in Springfield, Tennessee, she was the daughter of the late Joe Brownlow Pitts and Eleanor Catherine Choate Pitts.
Constance graduated from Savannah Central High School in Savannah, Tennessee, as a member of the Class of 1969. In her working life, she owned and operated her own beauty shop, a role that reflected both her independence and her care for others. She also worked for the family business, Harbour-Pitts Company, as well.
She was a lady of strong Christian faith and a member of St. Luke Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Madison, Tennessee. Her faith was an important part of her life and remained a steady presence through the years.
Constance found joy in the simple and meaningful moments that made life special. She enjoyed knitting and was especially known for making Christmas stockings for family and friends, gifts that carried her time, thoughtfulness, and love. She delighted in being a grandmother and treasured attending her grandchildren’s games. She was also a devoted dog lover. Those who knew her will remember her affection for the color red; it brightened so many parts of her life, from her car to her jacket to even the pencil she used. She also loved watching sports on television with her family, who often helped her decide which team to cheer for, a memory that will continue to bring smiles to those she loved.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her granddaughter Mary Catherine Elizabeth Ricketts.
She is survived by her daughter, Connie Jo (John) Hill-Ricketts; her grandsons, John Ricketts and Richard Ricketts; and her great-granddaughters, Aliyah Ricketts, Cyncere Austin-Ricketts, and great grandson Gabriel Ricketts. She leaves behind a family who will carry her memory forward with love and gratitude, remembering her faith, her warmth, her spirited personality, and the many ways she made ordinary days brighter.
A celebration of Constance’s life will take place Saturday, September 19, at 2pm at Cole & Garrett Funeral Home in White House. Visitation will be held from 12pm til the 2pm service time.
Constance will be remembered with deep affection by those who knew and loved her, and her memory will remain a lasting blessing.
