Jill Basich Obituary

It is with profound sadness that the family of Jill Lynn Basich announces her sudden passing on November 14, 2022, age 53. Jill was born in Lansing, Illinois, and graduated from Thorton Fraction South High School. She completed her education at the University of Illinois in Accounting and held positions with the Chicago Board of Trade in finance. Jill was The Jill of All Trades; she could tackle any project at home, she became skilled with her woodworking projects, she enjoyed tending to her garden, and she was always picking up new hobbies as she went and she excelled in everything she put her mind to. She had a wonderful mind that never rested. She is remembered for her contagious laugh and ability to pull pranks on everyone. Her greatest joy was raising her four strong children and watching them become independent and successful in their own ways. She was a wonderful wife, mother, daughter, sister, and friend to many and will be dearly missed.

Jill is survived by her adoring husband of 28 years Adrian; her loving children Madison, Morgan, Maxwell, and Maya; her dearest siblings Kristine (Brodie) O'Connor and Kenneth (Laura) Garson; her cherished mom Georgene, her precious nieces Samantha Garson and Ellianna Basich and nephews Benjamin Matlock III Garson, John "Jack" Garson and William Basich. She is preceded in death by her father John "Jack" Garson.

Funeral Mass for Jill will be at 10:30 am on Tues., Nov. 29th, at St. Joseph Catholic Church, 121 E Maple, Ave. Libertyville. Visitation will be from 4:00 – 8:00 pm on Mon., Nov. 28th at McMurrough Funeral Chapel, 101 Park Pl, Libertyville. (847) 362-2626. Sign guestbook at libertyvillefuneralhome.com

I had the good fortune to get to know Jill when her daughter Madison went to Tulane. She and my daughter became fast and forever friends. I always kidded with Madison that she was and will always be my NYC daughter. I saw Jill at the kids graduation and then when she and I moved our girls into their apartment in NYC. In between there were some texting moments always about our girls. I will always remember her as a fierce, beautiful, strong, energetic woman who had many amazing talents and who loved her children deeply. My heart is breaking for you all and if I could wrap my arms around Madison at this very moment I would. Please know that the Sklover's will always be here for Madison and the rest of your beautiful family.
With profound sadness and overwhelming love and support,
Judy Sklover
