Jill lived a life filled with warmth, dedication, and deep affection for her family and friends. She was a talented quilter who found great joy in piecing fabrics together. As a member of both the Piecemakers Quilt Guild and the Optimist Quilting Club in Denver, North Carolina, she shared her creativity, stitched lasting memories, and formed deep friendships. Her beautiful quilts and her resilient spirit will leave a lasting memory in the hearts of all who knew her. One of her remarkable quilts with a US Flag pattern was made to honor her parents, WWII Navy Chief Jack Jarvis and Edith Jarvis. It can be viewed at the DeLand Naval Air Station Museum, where it is on permanent display in the Love and War collection, next to her parents’ wedding photo.
