Jill Wright Obituary
Jill was born June 12, 1965 in Neptune New Jersey, the daughter of Abraham and Doris (Siegel) Besman.
At the time of her death, Jill was a Project Accountant at Kirtley-Cole Associates. Her family is very appreciative of the tremendous caring and support shown for her by Kirtley-Cole and its employees.
Jill is survived by her mother Doris of New Jersey and favorite brother Eric (Lisa) of Connecticut. Jill was preceded in death by her father Abe. She was definitely daddy's girl. In addition, she was predeceased by all four grandparents and her aunt Evie (Siegel) Shapiro and uncle Marc Shapiro.
Perhaps the most important survivor in Jill's life is her cat Sweet Pea, who she loved and treated like the princess she is. Jill was a cat person from a young age and enjoyed funny cat videos. She introduced the family to the card game Phase 10 many years ago and it remains a family staple. Jill was skilled at the crafts of crochet and needlepoint.
A Graveside Service will be held Wednesday November 13, 2024 at 11:00am at Beth Israel Cemetery in Woodbridge, New Jersey. Shiva will be held at the home of her mother, and later at the home of her brother.

I had the pleasure of working with Jill - she was very precise and good at her job. She cracked me up on a regular basis...she had a quick wit!
We had a team building event the day before she was diagnosed. One of the things we did was an art project and I will think of her every time I look at mine. I'm so glad we had that day of fun.
Jill and I swapped funny cat stories...she sure loved Sweet Pea! She often told stories about how Sweet Pea would wake her up by either sitting on her head, patting her face, or biting (!) her nose.
I will think of Jill whenever I see a ladybug or something fashioned in a ladybug design...she loved them!
We miss her already!
