We were deeply saddened to hear of the sudden loss of Aunt Jill. You all will be in our hearts and we will pray that everyone can stay strong.
I will always remember her as being a creative, artsy, full of life shining woman. Any memory I have of Aunt Jill is one of her going 100 mph with a smile on her face making others smile as well.
We love you all and she will always live in our hearts and thoughts….

I am deeply sorry to learn of Jill’s passing. I knew her as a member of the Springfield High School Class of 1972. She was always a happy, cheerful, friendly, loving, and giving person.
