Jill Cuce Obituary

Jill Cuce

March 12, 1964 - May 5, 2025

Orcutt - Jill (Jilly) Hollum Cuce, 61 of Orcutt, CA passed away May 5, 2025. Jill was born in Santa Monica, CA, then lived in AL and FL before coming back to Cali in 1978. Jilly was a graduate of Santa Maria High School 1982.

Jilly had a way of lighting up a room with her beautiful smile, and the energy of her voice. Her love and kindness, sense of humor, and dedication to saving animals were well known and will be cherished and remembered by all who knew her.

Jilly leaves behind her loving husband Paul, her sister Lisa Chadwick (FL), and her twin brother Jack Hollum (AL), along with countless family and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents, Joe & Kitty Hollum.

"Who's that kitty sittin' there so pretty; lookin' bad as can be, for all the world to see? He's my Dilly, he's my Dilly."
