Jill Schieble Obituary
Jill E. Schieble VIRGINIA BEACH - Jill E. Schieble (Birkhead), 51, with her family by her side began her journey into eternal life on Friday, Oct. 17, 2008. She was born Feb. 13, 1957, in Bryn Mawr, Pa., to Marianne Birkhead (Sheller) and the late H. Clay Birkhead Jr. She and her family moved to Mequon, Wis., in 1972 where she met her high school sweetheart and loving husband of 28 years, Dan Schieble. Jill and Dan married June 21, 1980, after graduating from the University of Wisconsin-Madison where Jill was a Pom-pom girl, avid supporter of Dan's Badger football team, and she was also a member of the Delta Gamma Sorority. Jill lived with grace and goodwill. That love and affection was returned by her family and many friends tenfold. She enjoyed her careers in fashion merchandising and later with TWA. Her job took her to many parts of the world. Whether it was swimming at Sting Ray City, bartering at a bazaar, or meeting the locals in a distant land, her bright smile and outgoing personality made quick friends. Despite her busy schedule, Jill did much community service and was always first in line to volunteer. However, Jill's proudest achievement are her beautiful and loving daughters Allie, Whitney, and Jordan. She was their rock, mentor and most special friend. Her legacy will live on through them. Jill is also survived by her sister, Sally Whitchurch, brother- in-law, Kelly Whitchurch and their children, Robert and Alicia Whitchurch; mother-in-law, Mary Ann Schieble; brothers- in-law, Patrick, Michael and Thomas Schieble; as well as many other relatives and friends. A celebration of Jill's life will be held Thursday at 11 a.m. in the Spring Branch Community Church, 1500 N. Great Neck Road, Virginia Beach. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the Bone Marrow Transplant Foundation, Attention: John McCarty, M.D., MCV Medical Center, 1300 E. Marshall St., Richmond, VA 23298. Hollomon- Brown Funeral Home, Great Neck Chapel, is handling the arrangements.

Dear Dan and Sally,
You may not remember me. Jill and I were friends during our sophmore year at Homestead; then my family moved to the Chicago area. Sally, you and my sister, Peggy, were friends.
I just recently learned of Jill's death. Please accept my deepest sympathy on your tragic loss. I will always remember Jill as a golden girl filled with life and laughter.
May God bless you and your families.

My Dearest Sister Jill,
Words cannot express the emptiness I feel at this time. I thank you for all of the great memories you leave with me, for all the the advice you have given me, and for giving me the best brother-in-law, god child, and 3 beautiful nieces a sister could ask for. I will forever treasure the breezes you place on my face, the twinkling of your eyes at night and the way your beautiful smile lights up the sky. You will forever be my angel and I look forward to the day that we meet again.
Until then, soar with the eagles and give Dad a huge hug!
Love ya girl,
Sally

Dear Schieble family,
We've never met, but you know my sister Gale Bartow. She and Jill have been close friends since high school. She loved Jill and loves all of you, too.
Gale told me Jill was special in many ways and was part of a truly wonderful family. Hearing her tears over the phone prompted me to offer something I wrote last year when I lost two dear friends. I suddenly felt a void in my heart. A void that I first felt could never again be filled.
The Void
How does one recover from the devastating loss of a loved one? How can life go on with any hope of happiness or joy?
I've pondered that question as I've faced the loss of friends and loved ones. Would I be able to once again smile? Would I laugh? Would I ever again weep tears of joy and laughter?
When we lose a loved one a void is created in our heart. It's a void where our loved one used to fill us with their sight, their sound, their presence. Without them there to continue filling us, the void simply deepens and grows. We feel empty.
As with other types of loss, we must allow ourselves to adapt. After time, the blind can experience an increase in hearing acuity and the deaf become more observant. But how can we adapt to an emotional loss?
We have to learn to rely on all of our senses. In this case, it's our memory. To stand waiting for a door to open as our departed loved one walks in is pointless. But, to close our eyes and recall the vivid memory of our loved one dashing thru that same door at Christmas! Now THAT can warm a heart! We can recall the subtle details of that entry - the walk, the greeting, the clothes, the perfume or cologne, the warmth of their smile and hug. Any or all of those things can fill a different part of our heart - one which will afford us to regain our smile, our laugh, and our appreciation of life itself. An appreciation just like our departed loved one would have wanted!
We have to learn to go to a different part of our internal "library". Instead of standing around at the "receiving dock" watching all the new stuff come in, we have to travel back to the different corners of our vast collection. Places we haven't visited in awhile or may have never visited before. Places that may require the assistance of loved ones or friends or pictures or sound to help us reconstruct. Regardless, after time and practice we'll find that our hearts will once again fill with the sight, the sound, and even the presence of our loved one. The void we once felt will be replaced by the fulfillment of what we carry on our internal shelves and can now "see" and "hear". We'll notice that our smile reappears and laughter will again fill our heart. And isn't that just what our loved one would have wanted?

Dear Schieble family,
Though I did not know each of you individually, your mom(and wife) always spoke very highly and proudly of you all in the office at Hilltop Therapy Center. She was a wonderful woman and was always such a ray of sunshine. She was one of the first in the office to help to make me feel at home...and for that I will always remember her! She had a wonderful sense of humor and will truly be missed. Many thoughts and prayers to your family in this time of sorrow.

To Jill, and Dan Schieble and Family: I first met you at Kohl's Food Store in Thiensville, Wisconsin, where Ellen Bowe introduced me to you and your sister Sally. Ellen said that you just moved to Wisconsin. I last saw you in 2006 in Mequon, Wisconsin, when we went to Brew City with Jody Yenter, Gail Schilberg and Kim Mulvaney. (Obviously I'm using all maiden names). That event was a micro-reunion and we poured through the past reunion books laughing on our trip down memory lane. I saw you again at your father's memorial, and you and me confessed to each other our very deepest poltical secrets. The secret remains...
You're a courageous lady and I admire your steadfastness in squeezing every inch out of life no matter where the chips flew and landed. I believe wholeheartedly you are completely at peace because you had peace before you passed over to eternal life.

My condolences to you and your family.I did not know Jill personally but I feel that I did in a way through my sister, Sheri Harris. The friendship Jill and Sheri had was a friendship that many never experience in a life time. Jill was an amazing and beautiful person and she will be missed by many. May you know that our prayers are with you and your family.

Búshi Damashi (warrior spirit), the emotional essence of the martial arts, demonstrated through simplicity in everyday life, vigorous training, and constant reflection of one's progress. Búshi Damashi is expressed by kindness and benevolence as well as through courage. It is the last sentence of this definition that describes Jill. Jill and I would talk about the fact that she was a mind with a body, not a body with a mind...and battles are won in the mind.
I've never seen such mental toughness. We discussed an article regarding what was the best quality a parent could pass on to a child. The writer felt it was resilience, the ability to spring back no matter what. As the months went by, I commented one day that she didn't possess resilience; she in fact had reJillience–resilience times 10. When someone does something really special and emerges from great personal hardship, give them a great compliment and honor Jill at the same time–tell them they're reJillient.
Allie, Whitney, and Jordan, your mom has spent years pouring your foundation and it has been fortified with ReJillience. She has left you a bag of jewels–reJillience is just one of the gems enclosed. Others include integrity, justice, courage, good will, politeness, etc. Some won't reveal themselves until later in life, but you will recognize where they came from when they appear.
Giri is a Japanese word meaning duty or moral obligation. Your mom believed in this and was concerned she was not fulfilling hers by passing so soon. Everyone assured her she had imparted a lifetime of life's lessons in the short time she was here.
I wrote Jill once, after one of her many battles, to express the admiration and respect I have for the way she handled her misfortune. Jill reminds us we have the ability to accommodate adversity, if not to overcome it. What a magnificent display of courage and bravery. They say we can't control the unfortunate events life inflicts upon us but we can control the discipline and dignity with which we face these events – she truly has done so.
I take great comfort in the fact that I expressed to Jill everything I've written here before she passed; she knows how I felt. My life is truly enriched for having known her. It's been an honor, and no one had a better friend. I will miss her.
My deepest sympathies to the family.

Dan("Schiebs"), Allie, "Whit", and "JJ" - It seems like only yesterday that we stood on the sidelines together in neighborhood soccer and cheered for our young daughters! Jill was always there leading the cheers, smiling, and complimenting the girls for good plays. She was definitely the unofficial "TEAM MOM". Her upbeat attitude and bubbly personality had a lasting impression on me . As I view the many nice comments from her friends in this Guest Book, I truly realize the profound impact that she had on others as well. She lived a great life, had a positive impact on all that she touched, raised three special daughters, and displayed amazing determination as she fought the "good fight " until the end. Her Celebration of Life, which Vicki and I were fortunate to be able to attend earlier today, was uplifting, funny, and tinged with melancholy at times. The turnout of people was a real testament to the influence that Jill had on everyone she touched during a life cut way too short. I know that Jill was looking down on this CELEBRATION with that big smile for which she will always be remembered. She is now challenging each of us to write our own chapter in her best selling book, "The Life of Jill". From this day forth I will strive to make sure that my chapter evokes her love of life, her spirit, and the positive attitude that she displayed in the face of adversity. Thank you, Jill for allowing us to be a part of you life. Thank you Dan, Allie, Whitney, and Jordan for sharing your wife/mother with us.

Dear Dan and family,
I was one of the first people to meet Jill when she moved to Thiensville. I have many fond memories of those days. Jill was always a bright, cheerful person who brought an element of fun to everything she did. Jill loved life and lived it to the fullest. She will be remembered fondly by many. I offer my deepest sympathy to you all. Jill will be missed, but I know that the way Jill truly "lived" her life will remain an inspiration to us all!

I was so sorry to learn that Jill has lost her battle. She certainly gave it everything she had because she wanted to be there for all of you and she loved her family so much.

I hope you can find comfort in knowing that she will live forever in your heart and the hearts of all who knew her.

"Radiant" is a word that comes to mind when I think of Jill. She always had a smile and a twinkle in her eye - and courage beyond belief. No one I have ever known has fought so hard to live. I know there is a star up in the sky shining down on her family - her spirit will never die. Thinking of all of you in my heart.

We are just heart broken for you and all of Jill's freinds and family. I am praying for peace for you all and nothing more but good things for you and your family. I remember her from your wedding and bachlorette party. She was full of joy and so pretty. I know nothing will replace her but Lisa and I could try to be a surrogote sis when ever you need us. We love you Sally, and feel your pain. Please call us anytime. Tell her kids, Dan, and your momma we are thinking of them. Your Daddy will be partying in heaven when Jill comes home to him. You will all see her again, and always in spirit and memories in this life.
Love Tonia, and Lisa and all the Whitchurch clan.

Dear Shiebs and girls,
I am so deeply saddened by Jill's passing. She was one of a kind and her joy for life was an inspiration to everyone who knew her. Girls, you never met me but your mom and I were sorority sisters and I was also friends with your dad in college. Later, your dad went on to law school with my boyfriend. I sang at your parent's wedding and I will never forget how your mom looked on that day -- she was so beautiful and so happy. It makes me so happy to know that she had three beautiful daughters who will pass on her wonderful qualities. I'm sure you will miss your mom, your best friend. I have a daughter too and I know how moms and daughters are. Please know that your mom is always with you and with you, Dan. She will never leave you...her love is in you and in everything you do -- she is the best part of you.
Dan, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your entire family. We shared some wonderful memories together that are just that much more precious now. I saw Zup's entry about the ski trip and it made me smile about happier times...I would love to reconnect some time when you are up to it. Homecoming at UW is this weekend and I will be thinking of Jill and you and singing Varsity in her memory. Much love and many prayers,

Dan,
As you know I along with my daughter were able to spend a few precious hours with You and Jill this past spring. The time we spent will never leave me. Jill's courage was beyond words. Her incredible outlook was so overwhelming that I was truly ashamed of what I thought a problem was in my own life. Her body beaten down by her battle was totally Vailed by the passion for life and her love of life which was reflected in her beautiful eyes. My daughter and I had talked all the way home and Jill truly impacted our live's that night.
We Love you and our thoughts are with you.

I hope this makes your girls smile. I read of your mother's passing in the paper. In this part of the States, it is somewhat rare to find fellow Badgers. I am from Wisconsin and my husband and I also graduated from Madison. As a child there was no better event than to go to a Badger football game. I know I sat in the stands on more than one occasion and enjoyed watching the UW pom-pom girls at the time your mother was on the squad. You had to be a real special kind of person to make it- talented, but also you had to have a special something that I know your mother possessed. We would go home and try to do the same moves. Any kid growing up in Wisconsin knew how wonderful the pom-pom girls were. Ask your father about the Portage Plummer.
I am so sorry for your loss. Thank you for letting me share my thoughts. God bless.

I am so sorry to hear of Jill's passing. I remember you and Jill fondly and remember your friendship as a haven of fun and welcome distraction from law school. I particularly remember the road trip to the Upper Peninsula to ski with Boivin, Mary D, the Berceaus, and who else? The actual particulars of the games and frivolity escape me, but I still feel the fun and happiness which you and Jill brought to the weekend. I hope it is some consolation to you that we remember you with great fondness and affection. You and your daughters are in my prayers.

She made us all smile every day she was there and with so much love and courage. She handled everything with grace and such "never give up" spirit. What an awesome lady she was. She and I became pretty good friends and had many laughs and wonderful sharing moments. She was my right-hand at the office and a wonderful friend. We were all blessed to have her in our lives and she will be remembered always.

Cherish the memories you have, and I will continue to pray for your family. My heart also goes out to Mrs. Birkhead, Dan and the girls for their great loss. We all know that Jill is safe and pain free in God's hands now.
