Jill Helen McINTYRE

What an infectious laugh - which I was lucky enough to have enjoyed for over 40 years. Deepest sympathies to Dave and family.

I sit on the Board of Directors of a non-profit society that runs a summer camp on Gambier Island that caters to disadvantaged children and families. About 3 years ago, the camp had closed due to a shortage of money and a huge amount of infrastructure that needed to be repaired.

As our volunteer board struggled to both plan for the future and maintain a Society, we suddenly found ourselves under seige by a land developer intent on constructing a road thru the property to access his development.

The resulting dispute required some legal representation, and by God's good grace, we found Jill who agreed to represent the Society in the dispute resolution process.

I don't know where we would be without Jill's organization, skill and tact. At the end of the process, the Society's interests were well represented - to the advantage of any child now using the site. A true legacy to Jill's work. Jill always treated me well and was a pleasure to be around.

To Jill's family, I wish you strength during this time, and please take comfort in Jill's strong sense of justice and her loyal support to those not able to convey their grievances. It was a noble calling which she performed well and no doubt brought comfort to many at difficult times.

It was my great pleasure to work with Jill, although only briefly. Her compassion and understanding put others at ease in stressful circumstances. I have no doubt she left the world a better place than the way she found it.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Jill was one of the sweetest people I've ever met and I will always remember her laugh.

Jill was one of Dawson Creek's finest

Please accept our deepest sympathies.
