Don and Sons:
My friendship with Jill is one that started out over 30 years ago when she became a patient at our dental office and grew into a treasure for me. We figured out that my grandson, Mike went to school with Jeff. I know I looked forward to her visits. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I was the instructor for the water aerobics class that Jill participated in and she was also my kids story time librarian teacher. I would love to see her smiling face in the pool and at the library. She was always so happy and talkative. She spoke about her family and how proud of her kids she was. She was an incredibly kind women and I am so thankful to have the pleasure to get to know her. She will be deeply missed.

So sorry for your loss! We are former neighbors of Jill, Don and family. Our children grew up together on Rosewood Lane in Strongsville. They all played together when they were just little ones( and some went to preschool together). We just recently found some old photos and remembered how Santa came to their house to see all of our kids! and playing baseball on the street and in our yard!! She was such a nice person and a great mom. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers The Leonti Family

I knew Jill from working at Berea Library. She was truly a "beautiful person inside and out". She always made you feel that she was interested in you and also about your family. She will be so missed by everyone.

I am honored to have known Jill. We worked together at the Berea Library. We grew closer after Jill retired. Many good memories. I will forever love her laughter.

I worked at the library and when I went to Berea it was special when Jill was in the children's room. I remember talking to her about her son/s athletics. She was always nice to me and that didn't always happen to us. My heart goes out to all of you. She was one of the good ones and unfortunately they often leave us too soon Dale Woike
