Jill was born in Beckley, West Virginia but raised in Virginia. She spent many happy summers with her dad and large extended family in West Virginia.

Jill was a wonderful person and found happiness and joy in any situation. She was an avid fisherwoman, many days you could find her on the banks of the Rappahannock River. She loved to fly kites, swim, crafting, playing the harmonica and singing, but nothing gave her more joy than spending time with her children and grandchildren.

She coined herself “Jill of All Trades” doing such jobs as a house painter, photographer, a nanny, dishwasher and waitress.

If you were lucky enough to call Jill your friend, you had a friend for life. She was extremely caring, compassionate and loyal.

Jill was a kid at heart and would play for hours with her grandchildren. She loved to buy herself new toys. She would always say “Growing old is mandatory but growing up is optional.”

She will be forever missed, but we will meet again in Heaven.
