(From Ozark Funeral Home)Hilma Frances Hines, 88, of Powell, Missouri, a cherished matriarch and beacon of love and strength, passed away peacefully on Monday, February 3, 2025, at Medicalodge Care Center in Neosho, Missouri, after months of failing health.
She entered this life on August 11, 1936, in Shell Knob, daughter
of the late Jesse “Doc” and Sally (Mahurin) Mitchell.
Raised in the Fairview and Stella areas of Missouri, Hilma was a longtime resident of Powell, Missouri, where she cultivated a home filled with warmth and joy. A devoted homemaker, she dedicated her life to nurturing her family, creating a legacy of kindness and care that will be remembered by all who knew her.
