Jill was born on Tuesday, November 19, 1957, in Atlas, Michigan, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Marvin and Suzanne (Daniels) Gritzinger. Jill grew up in Davison and lived there most her adult life until she moved to Clio where she has lived for the past 25 years. Jill worked in retail and production for most of her working career. She also studied to become a Pharmacy Tech while working at Diplomat Speciality Pharmacy. However, she spent most of her life providing food and spirits along with many laughs behind a bar somewhere. She absolutely adored working with the public, and making a new friend every chance she had. Jill was a long-time member of Fraternal Order of Eagles Aerie #3609 in Clio. In her free time, Jill enjoyed shooting pool, gardening, traveling, crafting, watching sports, boating, and being social. Jill also enjoyed completing word puzzles, playing board games and shooting dice with friends while enjoying a few adult beverages. Despite many tribulations throughout her lifetime, Jill was a genuinely happy person who enjoyed making others around her happy.
Left to cherish her memory are her children: son, Michael Wright; daughter, Kelly and son-in-law, Joe Ross, her beloved grandchildren: Ryan and Madayln; all three of her siblings; aunts, uncles, cousins, and two nieces and a nephew; as well as her dog, Piper. Jill had many special friendships with others whom she held dear and considered family.
Jill was preceded in death by both of her parents, her husband, and a couple very close girl friends.
