March 24, 1939 – October 7, 2026
Passed away peacefully on Wednesday, October 7, 2026 at St. Joseph’s Hospice in London, Ontario, following a battle with cancer at the age of 87.
Born in Hounslow, England, on March 24, 1939, Jill moved to Canada at the age of 17, and spent most of her life in London, Ontario, and most recently, Grand Bend, Ontario. She was a kind and generous woman who enjoyed gardening, particularly growing blue flowers, and singing in the choir “The Joyful Noise” at St. Stephen’s Church. She loved a good relish tray, a glass of white wine, playing UNO with her grandkids and always made sure she was dressed fabulously. Jill was lovingly known as “Ontario’s Mom” because she attended so many youth conferences organized by her son. She was always dancing alongside the students, listening to the speakers, and sharing her wisdom and advice with hundreds of young people over the years. These little things were very much a part of who Jill was, and are among the many things her family and friends will remember about her.
Jill will be lovingly remembered by her husband of 40 years, Patrick; her son, Stuart (Jenny); and her twin brother, John Green, nieces Annette and Denise. She will be dearly missed by her grandchildren, CJ, Jack (Susannah), Kristina (Eric), and Emily (Mark), and her great-grandchildren, Olive, Maple, Hank, Benjamin, Aubrey, Henry, and Lucas. She is now reunited with her brother, Michael; her son, Craig; and her grandson, Matthew.
A celebration of Jill’s life will be held at St. John’s by the Lake Anglican Church, 70642 Ontario Street North, Grand Bend, on Friday, October 30th at 11:30 AM. Please RSVP by October 25th by emailing [email protected].
In lieu of flowers, donations in Jill’s memory may be made to St. Joseph’s Hospice – London.

My condolences to Patrick and all of the family. I have fond memories of our ladies in New York , few days away in Sept 2018. We had lots of fun and happy photos in my memory book.
Jill and I would chat about books we had read and sometimes swap them around, she told me of some real good ones. Jill often had memories to share of her days before I knew her in the Cove. She will be missed.
I will miss my dear friend Jill, went on a couple of cruises with them, have known Jill for about 15years. My condolences to Patrick and family.
My deepest condolences, Stu, to you and Patrick. I have fond memories of lengthy chats and of their drop ins. Ralph and I had a fun trip to Vegas with Jill and Patrick many years ago and of course there were the City Sound trips that you organized that we had to check out. Sending much love. May she rest in peace. ❤️🌹
