The Gulf Coast State College Foundation joins our community in mourning the passing of Julie K. Hilton, a cherished friend of Gulf Coast State College whose impact will be felt for generations.
As the most generous donor in the Foundation’s history, Julie’s impact extended far beyond her philanthropy. Her love for this community was evident in the many ways she supported the people and organizations that make it special. Her kindness, generosity and belief in the power of education touched countless lives and helped shape Gulf Coast State College in meaningful and lasting ways.
We are incredibly grateful not only for all Ms. Hilton made possible, but for the friendship, trust and unwavering support she shared with Gulf Coast throughout the years. Her legacy is woven into our College and our community, and the opportunities she helped create will continue to change lives for years to come.
Our hearts are with Julie’s family, friends and all who knew and loved her. She will be deeply missed, and we will forever be grateful for the difference she made at Gulf Coast and throughout our community.
