Jill Mary Dunlap
November 16, 1935 – September 6, 2014
Jill Mary Dunlap, 78, passed away peacefully Saturday afternoon, September 6, 2014 at Crestview Skilled Nursing in Bryan. Memorial services will be at 4:00 p.m. Monday, September 15, 2014 at Hillier Funeral Home, 2301 E. 29th Street in Bryan.
Jill was born November 16, 1935 in London, England to Leslie Charles and Phyllis May Kavanagh. She graduated from Pittman’s College and took up various secretary jobs in England, one of which is where she met her husband, Wayne. The couple married in England in October of 1956 and moved to Wayne’s home of Louisiana. They settled in College Station where Wayne earned his PhD. She kept her desire of bookkeeping alive and ultimately became office manager at Moulder Tax Service.
Jill enjoyed sewing, gardening, and playing bridge with her long time friends up until May 2014 when her health kept her from doing the things she loved. “Nana” delighted in taking her annual family vacations at the beach and would never turn down a cruise. She maintained her upbeat attitude through many of life’s hardships and was loved by anyone who met her.
Jill was preceded in death by her loving husband, Wayne of Bryan; her daughter, D.J. of Collinsville, OK and her parents.
Survivors include her son, Andrew of College Station; grandson, Brandon also of College Station; and numerous relatives in England.
The family would like to thank the Skilled Nursing staff and caregivers at the Heritage Unit, Crestview and Hospice Brazos Valley for their unwavering, compassionate support to Jill at the end of her life.
