Jill’s Obituary
Greene, Jill Louise (1968 – 2020) It is with great sadness that the family of Jill Louise Greene announce her passing at her home in Wellington, Nova Scotia on May 12, 2020 after a hard fought battle with cancer.
Born in Saint John General Hospital August 29, 1968 to loving parents Esther and the late Burton McKnight. Her early childhood was spent in Saint John and Riverview, New Brunswick. The family moved to Auburn, Nova Scotia where she spent her teen years. She graduated from West Kings District High School and attended Dalhousie University. She began her 17 year working career at Walker’s Wharf in 1988 which became part of the Fishermen’s Market group of companies in1993. She became a stay-at-home mom in 2006 where she was very involved with her children’s activities, and was a favourite volunteer at their schools.
Jill enjoyed life – especially family gatherings, camping, the Greene’s annual stay at White Point Beach, walking the beach with her children collecting shells and rocks which they later turned into crafts. Her hobbies included restoring antique furniture, cooking, crafts, gardening and walking her dogs.
Survived by her husband Graham and much loved children Fallon (13), Ashton (11), and step-son Logan (Toronto). Her loving mother Esther McKnight, brother Jeffery, sister-in-law Ellen and nieces Sarah and Brooke. Also several aunts, uncles and cousins. Father-in-law Fred, mother-in-law Edith Greene Halifax, sister-in-laws Darlene (son Julian), Elaine, Julia, Viki (Gary) and family Middleton, Janice (Tom) and family Cobourg, Ontario.
Jill was a people person and will be missed by many for her beautiful smile, quick wit and caring and compassionate heart. Her pain is gone and now may she rest in peace with her Dad. Under her wishes cremation has taken place. Arrangements under J.A. Snow’s Funeral Home, Halifax with a celebration of her life to be announced at a later date in Auburn, Nova Scotia.
