Jill E. Dreskin

Born October 23, 1945, in Providence, Rhode Island, Jill graduated from American University in Washington, D.C., where she met Richard Dreskin. They married in 1968 and built a life together filled with love, friendship, and family.

Jill is survived by her husband of nearly 58 years, Richard Dreskin; her sons Andrew and Jon Dreskin (Heather Dreskin); and her cherished grandchildren Max, Sophie, and Hannah Dreskin, whom she adored beyond measure.

Jill loved sports and was an avid tennis player and golfer. She had eclectic taste in music, with Elton John and Fleetwood Mac among her favorites. She was a devoted friend to many, some she'd known for decades, and was known for her sharp mind—whether playing canasta with friends or dominating at word games. Above all, she loved her family with extraordinary depth and devotion.

She will be remembered for her strength, her vibrant spirit, and the profound love she had for the people in her life.
