Elizabeth “Jill” lived life to the fullest. She was a wonderful mother and a social butterfly who made friends wherever she went. Jill loved her grandchildren, riding bikes, singing karaoke, and dancing. She was a member of Blue Springs Christian Church where she joyfully volunteered much of her time. Jill lived in Missouri, California and Michigan throughout her life. She worked as a makeup artist, flight attendant, manager, and hostess. She was a ray of sunshine and would brighten any room with her glowing personality, and infectious enthusiasm for life. She set the example for how to fight any and all hardships encountered, head-on. She remained strong and happy to the end.
