She attended some college at NIACC in Mason City, and previously worked at Comp Systems (Burling House), and at the IOOF Home in Mason City as a CNA/CMA.
She was a fanatic about the Dallas Cowboys, loved collecting Koala Bears, Frogs, Pillsbury Doughboy and you could always find her with a Diet Pepsi in her hand and a contagious smile on her face. She truly enjoyed the elderly, young children and animals, especially her treasured and beloved dog Eli. He was indeed her child.
She had been a member of the Rebekah Lodge and the Clear Lake Evangelical Free Church where she was involved in the choir and helped with the children's Youth Group.
Jill had a deep love for her nieces and nephews, Nichole, Melissa, Angela, Mason, Tyler, Kylie, Hannah, and Dakota. Great nieces and nephews, Clayton, William, Abigail, Harley, Ivory, and the most recent addition to the family, Baby Colten whom she hadn't had a chance to meet yet.
Jill is survived by her father, Richard of Nashua, Brother Jerry (Chris) of Swisher, IA; two sisters, Julie (Loren) Becker of Shellsburg, IA, Jeannie (Tom) Laube of Nashua, IA; many cousins, and many treasured friends whom she thought of as family.
Preceding her in death, her mother Marilyn, who she couldn't wait to be with again, along with her grandparents and Aunt Connie, who were also there to greet her at the gates of Heaven.

Richard, Jerry, Julie & Jeannie, You are in our thoughts and prayers as you grieve the loss of Jill. You did such a wonderful job of honoring Jill with the funeral preparations — the great photo boards depicting different stages of her life, the memorabilia of treasured things, the meaningful songs chosen for the service and Pastor Randy’s reflections of Jill’s faith and trust in Jesus as her Savior. The luncheon was delicious and the prayer given by Jill’s brother was very touching. We will miss Jill, but it’s comforting to know she is now pain-free and rejoicing in Heaven. Love from Mim Josten
I’m sorry to hear about Jill’s passing. We grew up in the same neighborhood and went to family gatherings (her dad and my dad are cousins). I remember Jill as a fun loving person. It’s tough to lose a sister. My condolences to Jerry, Julie, Jeannie, and her dad.
Jerry & Julie, We were so sorry to hear of the loss of your sister. May your memories bring you comfort. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Pam and Penny Allen

Jill was a student in my 4th grade class at Hayes Elementary School in Cedar Rapids. I remember her as full of life and like to have fun. I’ve enjoyed reconnecting with her recently on Facebook. My sympathies to her friends and family. Fondly, Diane Estes Olsen
I met Jill through Sally Gilliland when I lived in Charles City. We had lots of good laughs and tons of fun. In the past few years, we kept on touch through facebook. She would always have a kind word and bring a smile to my face. I will miss you Jill. Blessings and comfort to t the rest of the family, :sparkling_heart::sparkling_heart:

I will so miss all the bantering and heckling Jill gave me over being the older of the two of us; wish I could make her a cheesecake on her 52nd birthday. I’ll never get to hear her mutilate my name from ‘Mary Harle’ to ‘Hary Marle’ again-except in memories. I will also miss the serious talks when she would bare her soul and just get very real. Jill sold herself short – I was impressed with her theatrical talent in Bible School skits; it was fantastic. We enjoyed being in choir together over several years and she would get SO excited when her parents would come to musical presentations-probably doing some amazing harmony now! Sometimes life would overwhelm her, but she pushed through. Jill professed her love for Jesus; she knew she wasn’t perfect, that she needed a Savior, and more than anything, that one day, her eternal home would one day absolutely ‘rock’ her world!! Until we meet again, my friend….
Richard, Jerry, Julie and Jeannie-so sorry for your loss and sending prayers your way. May your cherished memories bring you comfort during this time. Your cousin, Ann Nabholz Holt

Jill, one my first true friends , and remained a true best friend all through our lives. Although we lost contact on and off through the years we always found our way back to each other, and each time we did we become closer than ever. I will miss our texts, our phone calls, sharing comments on Facebook, our trips to see each other.I will miss the laughs, the long talks, but most of all I will miss hearing your voice and seeing your face. I know you are at peace and no longer in pain and reunited with your mom, which gives me peace.I will always hold you close in my heart. To your family, the Jordan’s were like my second family growing up, and you all hold a special place in my heart as well. I pray for peace and comfort during this time. Connie Varner
My heart hurts for you as well, Connie. I know how much you loved her, and she you!! :heart:
Connie, Jill thought of you just like a sister. We find comfort in knowing that you two were reunited again, as we know how much she cared about you and your family! Thanks for all the wonderful memories you shared together, which brought much joy to her.

So sorry to hear about Jill’s death. Heartfelt sympathy to Jill’s family and friends. Gary and Joan Lore
I remember Jill as a student of mine in Nashua-Plainfield High School. She was a really a joy to have as a student. You have my deepest sympathy, and you’ll be in our prayers.
Jill gave the best hugs! She would seek me out at church to exchange a hug. I think she understood that folks who lived alone really needed hugs and a kind word. She had alot of friends wherever she went. Heartfelt sympathies to all her family and loved ones.

Jill and I met on face book in a recovery group she was from the start a caring kind person. I will miss our late night chats when one or both of us was not doing well. She came to visit me here in Wisconsin two times we enjoyed each other so much had a lot of fun. We loved talking and playing Wheel of fortune on her laptop. I will more than miss her she was like a sister to me.She called me Myrtle and I called her Mille. She would read me the laffy taffy jokes and we would roar at how corny they were. We were making plans to visit a mutual friend on the east coast and i think in her honor i will still make that trip it only seems right… So Millie rest in peace your sister Myrtle will never ever forget you xxhugsxx
So sorry for your loss. Will keep you all in our Prayers.

Jill touched the lives of so many people. Rest in Peace, my friend and thank you for the wonderful memories. Prayers and love to her family. Lisa
I’ve known Jill since first grade at Hayes. We reconnected on facebook and I was blessed to be able to call her my friend. Over the past couple years we have had many good times and laughs on short road trips. She really was a true person who was so kind and caring. I will miss her laugh and smile. She truly believed in God and now is in his loving arms and in the spirit of her Mother who she loved and missed so much. My deepest sympathies to her loving family and long list of friends.
