Jillian Willem

Jillian Willem passed away from this life into eternal life on Wednesday, January 20th, 2021 in the comfort of her home surrounded by her beloved family and friends. Jillian always lived life to its fullest and never let cancer define her journey. She continued to pursue her passions which included showing horses, spending time with family and friends, and loving her husband and children unconditionally. Her zest for life was beyond evident by anyone who crossed her path, and her smile could light up a room. Jillian touched so many lives in so many different ways and she will be so greatly missed. She will live on forever in our memories and hearts, and truly never be forgotten. 2 Timothy 4:7-8 “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
