Jillian Rebecca McGraw

Jillian Rebecca McGraw of Nashville passed away unexpectedly in Nashville on Wednesday, November 2, 2016 at the age of 35. She is survived by her mother and stepfather, Sally and Bob Daniel of Nashville; her father, John McGraw; her brother and his partner, Jonathan McGraw and Michelle Whiting; her stepsister, Sarah Daniel; her stepbrother and stepsister-in-law, Graeme and Kelly Daniel all of Clarksville; and her step-grandfather, Sinclair Daniel of Nashville, formerly of Clarksville. She is also survived by her aunts and uncles, Sue and Tony Frisina of Nashville; Bob and Karen Pitt of Atlanta; David Prater of Niota, Tennessee; Sandy Housey of Warren, Michigan; Rose Prater of Hazel Park, Michigan; and Katie Cain of Chattanooga.

She is preceded in death by her maternal grandparents, Joe and Emily Pitt of Clarksville; her fraternal grandparents, John and Barbara McGraw of Michigan; her step-grandmother, Barbara Daniel of Clarksville; and her uncle, Jerry McGraw of Michigan. She was born on September 5, 1981 in Nashville. She graduated from high school in Clarksville, attended MTSU, and studied Aesthetics at Queen City College and Nashville Tech. We will all miss her wonderful sense of humor. She was very resilient and managed to laugh in the face of adversity. She worked in a wide variety of jobs over the years, but her favorite job was a brief period recently at the Nashville Humane Society. She loved animals and always tried to help any strays she came across. Because of this love, in lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the Nashville Humane Society or animal rescue agency of your choice in her honor.
