JILL FEICHTER Obituary

JILL ROBBINS FEICHTER, 68, passed away Friday, July 21, 2023, at her residence in Fort Wayne, Ind., surrounded by her family, after a courageous battle with MDS and Leukemia. Jill was born Feb. 14, 1955, in Cleveland, Ohio. She graduated from Lincoln High School, Vincennes, Ind., in 1973. She graduated from Indiana University 1977 with B.A. Speech Pathology where she fell in love with her husband Tom. In 1979, she graduated from Indiana University M.A. Speech Pathology. She worked for a short time at Turnstone Center with preschool children, and a few other agencies during her years prior to children. Jill enjoyed many activities, including bike riding, watching her kids play sports as they grew up, chatting and visiting with her friends, and getting her nails done. She was involved in many activities over the years including Sunday school, MOPS, greeter ministries, and various clubs, and always volunteering in something. She always stayed on top of her speech pathology license and was a member of the American Speech & Hearing Associations for 30 years. Above all else, Jill's faith in Jesus Christ as her Savior was first, followed by dedication to her children and grandchildren: "She was the best Mimi". Her family and friends were blessed by her unconditional love, bubbly spirit, and servant's heart. "Our hearts rejoice that she is with our precious Savior." Jill is survived by her loving husband of 43 years, Thomas J.
