The fourth child of Carl and Jean King, she was born in Tulsa Oklahona, raised in Orange County until graduating from El Modena High School she went to stay with her Aunt Robyn in Tahoe Nevada. She then moved down to Carson City Nevada, only returning to Orange County for family Christmases.
Jilly was a people person, she worked in the service industry all her life. She was a well-known bartender in the area. There wasn't a drink she could not make, or a frown she could not turn into a smile. If you were not a friend when you sat down, you were when leaving.
Jilly married Robert Capps in 2001, who proceeded her in death on March 7, 2017. She is survived by her mother who loved her very much, brother Ed King, and sisters Claudia Soman and Robba'Lee King as well as many relatives. Per her wished, no serviced are planned so please say a prayer and remember her laughter and zest for life.
