What a sad loss. Jane was a brilliant and groundbreaking scholar. But more than that, she was a deeply decent human being. Jane was kind and supportive to me when I was just starting out as a grad student; I've never forgotten her generosity. I feel lucky to have known her.

Jane Hill was on my doctoral dissertation committee- like she was on so many others. Her critical insight improved it in so many ways, and provided me with the needed encouragement at the time. She will be missed.

Very sad to hear the news of Dr. Jane H. Hill's passing. Hill was influential in my understanding of community ownership (vs. universal ownership) of language. Hill shifted my perspective away from viewing languages as a “resource” (Hill 2002, 122).

Jane deja una huella imborrable en la antropología y la lingüística en México. Su profunda y brillante contribución al campo y su generosa y colegial presencia será extrañada por nosotros. Te guardamos siempre en nuestro corazón, querida Jane

I never met Jane personally, but her work has been incredibly influential in my own research and teaching. Her book (The Language of White Racism) has changed the thinking of so many students in my courses and will continue to do so in the future. Her legacy lives on. Que viva Jane!

Jen Roth-Gordon, School of Anthropology, University of Arizona: The world needed her longer. She was a humble genius. I will miss her insight and her laugh. She was as generous, straight-shooting, and good-hearted as they come.

I met Jane when I came to WSU, Detroit as a young Master’s student. She was so welcoming and amazingly for me – while we were both copying piles of papers and books, she invited me to join her as well as her family on their way to San Miguel Canoa. So in the summer we set of for México and she has put me on a track of personal experience and research which has continued since then, albeit with a focus on ethnopharmacology.

Dear all, Everything said here resonates with my own experience of Jane: the most brilliant, erudite, encyclopedic, yet thoroughly unpretentious and deliciously irreverent mentor I have had the honor to work with. I wanted to share the link to Planet in My Pocket, both for those who know the film, and for those who have never seen this side of Jane in action. I believe it was Melissa McCormick who spoke at the memorial about one of Jane's costumes at an Anthro Halloween party, and I feel like the seeds of the Pink Lady may have been sown at one these parties. Another year, she went as a "person without history". In the WWJD department, I always think of Jane as the antidote to pretentiousness and self-importance in academia and beyond. In case anyone needs a reminder: https://vimeo.com/231625529 Sending my deepest condolences, and fondest memories, to all who loved her.
