Jill worked in the healthcare field, in nursing and administration, at UC San Diego Medical Center, and then continuing at Henry Ford Health, upon returning to Jackson to care for her mother. Jill was a very caring and nurturing soul, which she shared with many through her numerous volunteer efforts, including Habitat for Humanity, and the Interfaith Shelter.

Jill enjoyed filling her home with antiques and other items that expressed her colorful personality, visiting lighthouses across the State, and spending time at Pentwater, appreciating the water and a good book.

According to her wishes, cremation has taken place.
