Matilda Mae "Tilly" Garrison (formerly Hill) was the first wife of Cotton Hill and mother of their only child, Hank.
Description
Originally married to Cotton, Tilly suffered abusive treatment, which lead to her obsessive glass miniatures collection and her eventual divorce from Cotton. After the years passed by, Tilly began to date Gary Kasner, a sort of womanizer with a Jewish background, whom Hank grew uncomfortable with at first, but came to like. However, it was revealed that Tilly later started dating Chuck Garrison behind Gary's back, a former hardware store employee whom, like Gary, worried Hank. Tilly eventually married Chuck and lived a new life in the RV that she purchased, away from her condo in Arizona.
Away from her dating life, Tilly enjoyed collecting miniatures and did activities with Chuck, normally those not suited for people her age. It was also explained that Tilly was very much liberal and more active than other seniors. As in The Honeymooners, Tilly enjoyed parasailing. That personality lead Hank to constantly worry about her.
Hank's facial features were very similar to that of Tilly's.
