Hildreth Virginia Roe

Hildreth Virginia Roe, 85, of Elliottville, Kentucky, passed away Tuesday afternoon, July 28, 2026, at UK St. Claire in Morehead, Kentucky.

She was born February 24, 1941, in Elliott County, Kentucky, a daughter of the late Harve and Lydia Wilson Weddington.

Hildreth was employed by Cave Run Clinic as an orthopedic secretary for 38 years until her retirement in 2006. Upon retirement she enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren, canning and sewing. She enjoyed canning vegetables from the garden that she and Noah tended each summer. More than anything, her pride and joy were sewing and quilting. She would show anyone who stopped in the many quilts she had pieced and had a story about why she loved each one.
