Jill was born on March 21,1979 in Houston, Texas. She was raised in Glen Ellyn, Illinois. She graduated from St. Francis High School in Wheaton, Illinois and received her Bachelor of Science in Informational Technology from Benedictine University graduating with honors. She enjoyed activities such as soccer, swimming, nature, fishing, arts and crafts, and her furry best friend Mac. She dedicated many years to managing Taylor Street / Capri Pizza, Weaton. Those who knew Jill will remember her love for Toby Keith and Fleetwood Mac, Winnie the Pooh, the Dallas Cowboys, and her out of this world sense of humor, contagious laugh, and the way she lit up a room.

She is survived by her life partner Sean Hill, and his daughter Kayla Lindberg; her beloved father Alan Adamek and stepmother Maria Dierckens.
