Jillian Nicole Peterson

Jillian Nicole Peterson, 39, of Bakersfield, CA, entered God's kingdom suddenly on December 16, 2022. Born in Boston, MA, on April 23, 1983, she was the daughter of Andrew Theodorakis and the late Mary Peterson. She was raised in Roslindale, MA, where she attended both Boston Latin School and Mount Alvernia High School.

In her teenage years, Jillian had a love for both softball and color guard. She made her living working in the restaurant industry where her outgoing personality shined. Even into her adulthood, Jill loved to rollerblade, enjoying it most during the time she spent living in California. She never went anywhere without a pair of sunglasses, and she could usually be found wearing Fox Racing or Famous Stars & Straps attire.

Jillian is survived by her daughter, Ashley Tays; her father, Andrew Theodorakis and his wife Judy of East Falmouth; siblings, Jennifer Peterson of Winthrop, Lauren Theodorakis and her husband Jimmy of Harwich, Amanda Fischbeck of Blackstone, Anthony Fischbeck of Bellingham, Kaitlyn Bradley and her husband Kevin of Carver, and Melissa Theodorakis of East Falmouth; nieces and nephews, Andrew Theodorakis and Karli Rogers, Isabella and Emma Bradley, and Jameson Gomes; and many loving aunts, uncles and friends. She is predeceased by her mother, Mary Peterson.

A celebration of life will be held at The Navigator, 55 Ashumet Rd, East Falmouth on April 23rd from 12pm until 3pm, where all are welcome to join the family in honoring Jillian's memory.
