A wonderful great aunt who always provided such a welcoming embrace to the extended family whenever we made the journey across from the U.K.

Jill would always go above and beyond to ensure we would have the trip of a lifetime. These are certainly memories I will never forget!

My love and condolences goes to all the family at this difficult time. Jill will be truly missed by us all.

Jill will always be fondly remembered by us a very good friend and an excellent co-host whilst she was with Ray visiting her very good friend, and our cousin, Wendy Gibson, and her husband Jim in Lander, Wyoming in July 2018. We stayed at Wendy's for several days as did Jill and Ray and we even went with them to Jackson Hole for a visit.
Yes, we have very fond memories of Jill and we would like to offer our condolences to Ray, and to Jill's family at this very sad time.

Jill was a great lady, I met her when I became a friend to her sons in school. From her fun attitude to her tough farm girl skills she always made me smile and laugh. I'll always remember her potato soup! May God bring much comfort to the family.
