Jill was born April 01, 1952, in Ohio, daughter of the late Edward Brown and Anne Willoughby Brown. She worked as a Medical Coding Professional for RTI before retiring. She found pleasure with her sewing and quilting crafts, often making quilts for family and friends. Jill enjoyed traveling with her husband, family and friends to the casino for an afternoon of fun. Christmas time was one of her favorite times of the year. Shopping and spending time with family was her greatest gift. More than anything she loved her family. They came first before anything else, especially the grandchildren. We will miss her in our daily routine, but she is forever cherished in our hearts.
