Jill Spry,
I shot against you at the Jaycee Int B-B Championship in 1974. I broke a record....and you broke it right after me! I didn't like that! SI was interviewing me when you shot the same in standing as I, but with an extra X. I watched you shoot aspirin on the JCarson show...and was so proud of you, Honey. I have been bested by you for almost 50 years. You were excellent and beautiful on television. I was so proud to be a girl....and to shoot like you! I have remembered your name since l was 11 years old. God bless you, Girl....the pretty blond who ruined my chances at Number One! RIP. I will remember you until the day l die.
Love
Melissa

I’ve thought about you all week!  Sharon and I both talked about it.   Your legacy lives on so strong in Blair and Brook!  I know you will be that wonderful guardian angel for your new grand daughter!!  You are so missed my friend!  

The team at Premier still misses Jill every day. We also honor her every day by remembering her as a mentor, leader and most of all, a great human being. Prayers to Jill's family that you continue to heal and remember her with joy. 

I have thought of Jill so many times over the last year, honestly a lot more than I felt like I might when she passed.  She was such an amazing lady.  The best boss, a great friend and amazing person.  I would often get a bit overwhelmed or stressed at work and she would often say, "oh forget about it, you are doing great now get home and give all those girls a hug," with a giggle referring to my wife and two daughters.  
She was wise beyond her years and almost every time I feel stressed, I hear her voice or read her "Rules For Daughters," to regain my perspective.  She loved her own daughters so much, bragged and laughed about them every time we were together.  She is missed and will always be remembered.

Jill was always so beautiful 
I remember her on Jonny Carson

So sorry for the family loss 
Prayers to all

Jill was a one in a million person to everyone she knew or just met for the first time, like myself.  I met Jill through my sister, Maureen Rose and my niece Victoria, during Legacy Volleyball. 
When I first met her she gave me a huge hug. She treated me like she knew me for years, always included me in every event, and taught me the great cheers that the teams  Mom & Dads made up. 

She was an amazing, kind, loving, funny and beautiful inside and out! I feel very fortunate to  have gotten to know  her through my sister Maureen and niece Victoria. 
Praying for her family 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️♥️ God Bless 🙏🏻

Like so many of us, I met Jill many years ago through work. She was truly one of the most supportive persons I have ever met. She was always there to lend a hand or lend an ear. A hug was just a step away. She was a truly amazing woman. Because of Jill, we laughed a little harder, cried a little less, and smiled a lot more. God Bless you, Jill and your family. May you enjoy the grace and peace you deserve. 

I am shocked and so very saddened to hear of Jill’s passing. Jill was a beloved mentor, always fair and kind to fellow nurses. She welcomed us to her home  and shared beautiful memories with us. My sincere condolences to her daughters and fiancé, parents and siblings. I pray that sweet memories of her will bring them comfort. We will all miss her dearly and pray that she Rest In Peace. My love to you sweet friend. 

Jill was my mentor and friend in Labor and Delivery. Her warm smile and beautiful heart will be sorely missed. Extending deepest sympathies to her beautiful daughters and entire family.  May angels lead her in 💕

Jill, what a Blessing for me to have had you in my life 💗 I was not surprised to hear your were fighting with full force upon being diagnosed. So much to live for; including your Beautiful girls, Blair and Brooke. You have such a Loving family and I knew you were in good hands and Loved daily! You were in my prayers ❤️🙏🏼
I am saddened that I missed saying an official goodbye, but I know your Spirit remains. Keeping a watchful eye. God recruited the Best Guardian Angel! 👼🏼 Soar high Jill, free of pain and suffering. Until we meet again. Love you my friend. Allison (Doig) Mardeusz

Jill was a colleague of mine with ConvaTec, where she was a great friend and mentor. We were able to make work fun and was glad I was able to take her to Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse in the Black Hills of South Dakota during a business trip to Rapid City. 

Jill touched many lives in such a positive way and I am thankful for the time I had to spend with her.

Thoughts and prayers with her family and fiancee.

Sincerely,
Travis Dunn

Our hearts goes out to Pat, Brooke, Blair, her parents, siblings  and all those who knew and loved Jill. She was a pillar of strength, and pushed herself each and everyday. She loved life and her family more than anything. She brought so much joy and beauty into this world with her positive attitude, her love, and her kindness. May her beauty and light shine brightly  in all of our hearts forevermore.  With sympathy and love, Dawn and Fred Bause 

Reading these eloquent recollections from folks who have worked closely with Jill, it is clear she was the same person professionally as personally. Always open and smiling and considerate of those around her. Both of our kids went through school together, in the same grades. Jill was an integral part of my daughter’s childhood. Her home was always open to the neighborhood.  She had a bottomless well of generosity and positivity. I am grateful for her influence, as are so many others. I’m not sure she ever knew how much she gave others, just be being who she is. My heart breaks for her daughters - she taught them the best example of a mother’s love.  Thinking of all who knew Jill, but especially Blair and Brooke as you navigate the world with this loss.  Sending hope for peace in your hearts.

I knew Jill for over 20 years.  She truly enriched my life both personally and professionally.   I worked with her at Convatec,  I can honestly say, everyone loved and respected Jill.  She always had everyone's best interest at heart. Her positive attitude was amazing, and is something I will always remember about her.    She will truly be missed.  

Keeping her family in my thoughts and prayers.    

I had the pleasure of meeting Jill 22 years ago and in doing so little did I know what an impact she would have on my life. We worked together at ConvaTec, the value she brought to all of us was amazing! Learned a lot from her, shared a great deal about life, nursing, sales and the importance of family. Her positive attitude was truly heart warming a lesson to be learned, I will miss her but am happy she is at peace and resting comfortably 🙏🏻

The world lost one of the few great ones in Jill. I worked for Jill at Convatec (she gave me my first promotion, setting me on a trajectory I have always attributed to her alone). Since her passing I have spoken to so many who have known and worked with her.....we all agree it is not right to think of her as a work colleague, she was so much more than that.  She was kind, fun,  a loyal friend, always took care of those she was close to and just, "got it."  She understood life and work.  I spoke with her often about that.  

Really there were two topics we spoke of:   
1.  Our daughters.  I have 2, ages 10 and 7.  She always asked about them and what they were doing.  Laughed with me at the things they were saying, sharing her amazing, "Rules For Daughters" that my wife and I aspire to reinforce.   More importantly, she ALWAYS had fun stories about Blair and Brooke.  We laughed at the lives they were leading, the fun they were having, how they were different but still similar at the core.  She was the proudest mom in the world to have smart, strong and classy daughters enjoying life.  I hope my two follow directly in those footsteps, we would be so lucky.
2.  We spoke about the crazy world we live and work in.  We often spoke of priorities, she truly understood what mattered most.  While her work ethic was unrivaled, she had such a handle on what mattered most. She taught me a great deal and I've trusted nobody more than Jill for sound career counseling, as a sounding board to de-stress me (she was selfless) and to just bring a smile to my face. 

So when I say the world lost one of the great ones....I mean it sincerely.  There really are not that many greats.  She was one.  Blair and Brooke, we will think of you both often and more often of your mom.  Each time we read our girls "Rules For Daughters," we will think of Jill and the amazing lady she was and legacy she left.

In our prayers,
Matt and Katie Feltz

I knew the first time I met Jill back in  2011 that I was in for a fun adventure.  Our daughters were members of Legacy 17-2 volleyball team. Jill and her daughter  Brooke instantly made every girl and parent feel  welcomed on that team. Jill was very kind, generous, funny and smart. She once  impersonated  a college coach at one of our tournaments 🤣. She made sure the coaches were taken care of and arranged dinners and activities for all. I always felt a special bond to her because we are both nurses and nurses seem to always connect with each other. She was always smiling, always in a good mood and always concerned about every girl on that team.  Jill was special and I was lucky to have been her friend and will miss her very much❤️  

"True heroism is remarkably sober, very undramatic. It is not the urge to surpass all others at whatever cost, but the urge to serve others at whatever cost." - Arthur Ashe
This quote is the true embodiment of how Jill faced each and every day. A true servant leader as others have said, and I am so grateful for the time and energy that she invested into me both professionally and personally. She will be so missed, but her strength, love, passion for others that she passed on will live on in those that she inspired. Jill was a true hero.

Jill was one of those people who never met a stranger and was always gracious and kind to others.  Meeting her through work at Premier, her passion for best patient outcomes as well as best solutions for Premier members was steadfast, deliberate and unstoppable.  She consistently amazed me with her energy and enthusiasm and the incredible work she did will not be forgotten.  I will truly miss her smile, laugh and passion and am honored to have had the opportunity to know her.  I hope the family will find comfort in knowing  that Jill was truly loved and admired not only by them,  but by so many others  that she so positively impacted.  

Jill is one of those people that truly makes a difference in this world. I truly feel blessed and changed to have known her. She was a bright star for all and an amazing nurse who always had the best interest of all patients in everything she did. Rest In Peace my friend. I love you. 

I worked with Jill at Premier and realized early on that she was one of those rare people that make you believe angels walk the earth. She was driven by a deep and unfaltering desire to help others. I will miss her smile but know her spirit will be with us always.

Any time I worked with Jill I was always impressed with how well she knew her work! She was never hesitant to be available and help take care of Premier’s member hospitals. She was really a great co-worker and I will miss that cute little accent she had. 

I worked with Jill for many years at Premier. I will miss her warmth, her enthusiasm, and her kindness. Jill was someone that you wanted to be around, wanted to interact with. She was always so positive and that is truly a wonderful quality to have. She will be missed.

I have had the pleasure and honor of knowing Jill throughout my career at Premier.  We both started together and an instant bond was formed.  She was a great leader and friend.  I will always cherish our Monday morning football stories we would share together.  Jill will be truly missed but never forgotten.  Rest in Peace, Jill.

Our thoughts and prayers for Jill's family during this difficult time.  I have fond memories of working with Jill throughout the years.  Her passion to make a difference in people's lives was inspirational. 

I can vividly remember the first time I met Jill. We were at a networking function as part of our Field meeting in Chicago about 6 years ago - it was soon after she had joined Premier. At that time, I was responsible for the operations of our non-acute GPO program. Jill introduced herself to me and shared how excited she was to partner with me in extending Premier's value to the non-acute market. I remember it so well because, at that time, so much of our focus was on the acute care space and our non-acute unit sometimes felt forgotten or ignored. And, not only did Jill exhibit a passion for working with me to bring additional value to our non-acute members, she also volunteered to do anything she could to help me. Usually, in that role, I was supporting the Field or our members - it was truly unique for a Field team member to volunteer to help me. That was Jill. That is why that memory is so vivid. That passion and eagerness to support others anyway possible is what I will remember most about Jill.

You sowed unconditional kindness along your path, possessed remarkable brilliance and lived with fearless courage.  You left too soon but did so with a noble and selfless concern for those you loved.  There is a place for you in heaven. Enjoy your stay and rest easy, my friend.  Until we meet again.

I only knew Jill for a little over a year as I joined her Field Specialist team at Premier in March of 2019. The impact that she made on me as a person, a leader and a role model will stick with me the rest of my life. Please know how much her Premier family loved and respected her and let that comfort you at this time of tremendous loss for your family. Her memory will live on at Premier as we strive to do our best every day to honor her. 

It was my distinct honor to work with Jill at Premier for a number of years.  While it was clear that Jill was a talented, strong, dedicated and smart leader, her focus was always centered on meeting the needs of the hospitals, health systems and patients served.  I always appreciated Jill's sense of humor, her caring demeanor and how she treated everyone with dignity and respect.  I'm grateful to have known Jill and only hope that we can all continue to carry out her legacy in all that we do.  

While I only knew Jill from working with her at Premier, I can tell you that she was a tireless worker with an infectious spirit and passion.  I truly appreciated her expertise and her way with the people she interacted with.  She will truly be missed.

Jill was the most amazing woman and friend. I feel blessed to have been able to call her my friend and then years later my boss. She was a servant leader that worked tirelessly while always treating people with kindness and respect. As a friend she was solid and supportive. There is a hole in this world now but her spirit remains always in my heart!  

Jill was a parent from the school I teach at, a neighbor, a friend, but most of all one of the kindest individuals we've ever known. Her radiant smile and love of life was always apparent. We feel blessed to have known her . Blair and Brooke, we are so sorry for your loss. Sending love, hugs and healing prayers to you, your family and friends. We love you!
-The Kovach Family 


Jill was a treasure of a human being. She is what we all inspire to be. Working with Jill at Convatec was an honor.  God Bless her and her family. She will be sadly missed but never forgotten. Love you Jill❤️❤️

I worked with Jill at ConvaTec. She was a gracious, loving person. Always fun to be around. I will miss her and I am sorry for your loss.

I worked for and with Jill at Convatec for many years.  She was a classy lady, and the definition of a true sales professional.  My customers were so impressed of her nursing and medical knowledge.  She treated everyone around her with respect and kindness.  She loved to talk about her beautiful daughters and how much fun she had spending time with them.  She had a wonderful smile and great sense of humor.   My thoughts and prayers are with her family.
