Jill Dash Obituary
Jill L. Dash
July 30, 1953 - Oct. 8, 2022
COVINGTON, TN - The world lost a beloved mother, Jill L Dash at the age of 69 on October 8, 2022 in Covington, TN. Jill is survived by her son Jeff Hobson Jr of Washington, DC, his wife Rebecca Hobson and their children Elizabeth, Ella, and Noah Hobson; and her daughter Jennifer Hobson of Brighton, TN and her children Andrew Tarkington and McKenzie Hobson.
Jill was born in Decatur, IL to her parents Marvin E. Dash and Evelyn L. Kelly. She graduated from Lakeview High School in Decatur, IL where she also met the love of her life Jeff L Hobson Sr.
Jill loved spending time outside in nature, with her family and helping animals in need. Her house was a gathering spot for the neighborhood children who loved to play with the many animals she cared for over the years. She was a skilled dessert baker and would provide excellent treats for her kids.
An end-of-life celebration is scheduled from Noon to 6PM on November 23, 2022, at the Scovill Garden House 71 S. Country Club Rd Decatur IL.

I was just looking for kids I went to high school with and ran into a Facebook posting that Jill had died. For me Jill Dash lives on in memory in the way that Lakeview High School in Decatur, Illinois, does, and everyone from the Class of '71. I just have nothing but fond memories of her, as she always seemed so stable to my skitzy presence in school. I now live on an island in the Andaman Sea and so am not only far away in years from those days at Lakeview in Decatur, but also literally on the other side of the world. Jill's name brought it all closer, and her memory enriches my present life. In this sense, she remains eternally the Jill Dash I remember so fondly from Lakeview High School. As many posting about Lakeview say, "Gone but not forgotten!" This is so true of Jill, too.

My prayers and condolences go out to Jill's family. I am so sad to hear of her passing. Kill and I were best friends since we were 5 years old. We lived down the street from each other, went to school together, had sleep overs, walked the lake, sledded down the hill in back of her house, ice-skated on the Lake, went to homecoming together, trick or treated together, I could go on and on ... I'm broken hearted to hear this sad news. Jill was my best friend... You will be greatly missed. Patty Gould from LHS
