Jill Unger Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Feb. 22, 2024.
Daughter, sister, aunt and friend, Jill Rosemarie Unger, 45, of Lake Hiawatha, NJ, left this world on February 16, 2024. She was born on Halloween October 31, 1978 in Toms River, NJ, to Harold and Mary Lou Unger. Jill graduated from Donovan Catholic High School where she was a member of the Big Blue Singing Crew and the Thespian Society. She sang with the All Shore Chorus for two years. Jill attended Ocean County College singing with the college chorus as well as the Garden State Philharmonic Chorus.

Jill had a passion for music, books, environmental and political causes, cooking and her cat Fletcher. A mandolin and guitar musician, she was the harmony partner of the duo, Folk By Association, for many years performing at coffeehouses, clubs, festivals and concert venues throughout the country, living her dream.

Jill is survived by her loving parents and siblings, Keith, Linda, Marianne, Shannon, Kirk and Jane, as well as fourteen nieces and nephews, five grand nieces and nephews and numerous friends. She will live forever in our hearts.

A private memorial gathering will be held at a later date.

I'm so sorry, I never should have let you go. You'd still be here, and we would have been married.. you were too good and too sensitive for this world. Heartbroken as I've just found out. You always made me laugh so much. Oh your nickname you gave me, I still use it to this day. I was going over our media, I wish I could make you laugh like before, you'd still be here. I love you. Kiss me. Sending the moon back at you.

My deepest sympathies to the family. I am so very sorry for your loss. This picture encapsulates a very fond memory from a high school coffee house we sang at (1994). I will always remember Jill as one of the sweetest people I had ever met.

Jill played music at several of our music event, the High Land Jam on the Pegasus Farm Campground in Elkins, WV. I loved being with her each year she arrived. Sometimes she would arrive early and help me decorate or cook for the bands. A really beautiful person. Mark and Bonnie will miss you.
