Jill Cagan Obituary
Jill Cagan (nee Gordon), 78, passed away on September 29, 2025, after having battled dementia for more than 10 years. Loving wife to the late Arnie Cagan, sister to Nina (Bernie) Garber, adoring mother to Jodi (Brian) Murland, Jonathan and Scott Cagan, grandmother to Alexa and Jackson Murland. Despite the progression of the disease, which took much of Jill’s personality and executive functioning, she never stopped smiling.
