Jerilyn Hill, of Sandwich, Massachusetts, passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family after a long battle with cancer and entered into rest on March 19, 2024 at 79 years of age.
Devoted daughter of Gertrude Bromberg of Boston, Massachusetts and Arnold Pollack of Boston, Massachusetts. Loving mother of Jennifer Barossi and her husband Tony, and Hillary St. George and her husband Christopher. Cherished grandmother of Justin Barossi, Ethan Barossi, Corwin St. George, Ava Barossi and Taylor St. George. Dear sister of Linda Stacey pre-deceased by her husband Kenny, Marjorie Snyder and her husband Martin, Susan Tanner and her husband Stephen, Robert Boodman and his wife Bonne, the late Susan Mish who is survived by her husband Donald, and the late Judi Tabachnick who is survived by her husband Harvey.
Jerilyn was raised in Brookline and Framingham, Massachusetts. She attended Lesley University in her adult life, where she earned her Master's Degree. She entered into her second career working as an Administrative Assistant in higher education at Stanford University and later for over twenty years at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the Department of Material Sciences, positions she found highly gratifying and purposeful. Jerilyn loved decorating, following the Celtics, Red Sox and Patriots and her beloved grandchildren.

Jeri will be remembered by me and my family as kind, patient, resilient and responsible, a unique individual who, indeed, "rolled with the punches." In spite of the challenges life handed her, she dealt with each with grace and optimism. She worked with my husband, Tom, for decades in the Materials Science and Engineering department at MIT, where her contributions made a big difference for students and faculty. In conversations, she often mentioned her daughters, Jen and Hillary and the grandchildren whom she loved so much. Her visits with them brought her the greatest joy. We will all miss Jeri and pray for peace and comfort to be with each member of the family.

Hank and I first met Jeri when she reached out to us regarding selling her beautiful home and finding another one, which was nearly impossible since her home is gorgeous due to her flair for decorating. We were lucky enough to spend some time with Jeri and really get to know her. What a kind and thoughtful woman she was. We ended up staying in touch with her and were lucky enough to call her a friend. Our sympathy to her daughters Jen and Hillary and to all of their family.
