It is with great sadness that the family of Jill Tilley announces her death on December 24, 2011 at the age of 94.

Lovingly remembered by daughters Jane (Thomas Smith), Susan (David Weiser) of St. John’s, and Joanna (Ian Gray) of Brighton, Ont.; grandchildren Jenny (Steve Noftall), Katie (Jon Dunne), Claire (Ward Avery), Ben, Jonathan, Andrea (Peter McGuire), Michael, Ian (Casey) and Alexander; great-grandchildren James, Mary, Isabelle, Bridget, Nicholas, Thomas, Leo, Violet, Patrick, Cole, Rex and Cate. Jill loved her family. She also loved music, gardening, theatre, knitting and the many dog companions who shared her life over the years. She was an avid reader and watcher of world events. She had the most wonderful sense of humour and we will miss her laughter, her amazing memory, her razor sharp wit, and always, her sage advice. The family thanks the staff of Kenny’s Pond Retirement Residence for their compassion and for the wonderful care and comfort Jill received there. Cremation has taken place.
