Hedy (Hill) Hughes

Hedy (Hill) Hughes, age 84, passed away on November 1, 2025 at Concord Ridge Nursing and Rehabilitation. She was born on April 5, 1941 in Bluefield, WV. Hedy moved to Cleveland as a teenager. While in high school, she worked at the Cleveland Arcade, a place she loved to share stories about. She enjoyed dancing, but being underage, she convinced her mother to accompany her to clubs so she could dance with her best friend, Anna. She graduated from East High School in 1958. Hedy met her first husband, Randal, when he moved in next door. They married in September 1959 and raised five children together. In 1980, she dedicated her life to Jesus and became a devout follower. She was a loyal member of Lake Shore Assembly for 40 years. Later, she married her second husband, Estel “Buzz” Hughes, and together they moved to Florida for several years before returning to Cleveland. Hedy and Buzz actively served their faith until he fell ill in 2016. Throughout his illness, Hedy remained by his side with love and devotion. She was a dedicated daughter, wife, mother, and friend. After her husband’s passing, Hedy began showing signs of dementia, which eventually progressed to Alzheimer’s. Despite this challenge, she maintained her humor, warmth, and love for others. She will be deeply missed. She is survived by her children, Randa (Dennis) Chartier, Paula Espinoza, Rheba (Timothy) Hall, Raymond (Kimberly) Hill, Randal Hill Jr. and stepchildren, Jeff (Wendy) Hughes, Diane (Benjamin) Parisi; grandchildren, Mark (Lizz) Glady, Jenna (Matthew) Sekerak, Jeremy Hill, Bradly Russman, Steven Cross, Danielle (Kurt) Binder, Ashley Hall, Timothy Hall Jr., Kelli (Jahmere) Young, Daniel Hill and Alyssa Hill, step-grandchildren, Nicole Whiting-Parisi, Joshua Parisi, Kaleigh Parisi, and Zachary Hughes and 15 great-grandchildren and many cousins, nieces and nephews.
