Jill Jones Obituary

Jill Kathleen Jones, born October 16, 1950, in Tacoma, Washington, passed away on September 14, 2025, at the age of 74.

A dedicated music educator, Jill taught for over 40 years, including 36 years with the Puyallup School District, where she was celebrated for her spectacular student music performances that inspired countless young musicians.

She graduated from Curtis High School, earned her bachelor's degree from Pacific Lutheran University, and later obtained her master's degree. Known for her infectious laugh and warm sense of humor, Jill brought joy to every room and showed boundless love for her students.

A devoted daughter, Jill is now reunited with her parents, Jeannette and Bill. Her memory will be cherished by her family and all who knew her.

May her legacy continue to inspire those whose lives she touched.
