I met Jill almost 30 years ago when she and Phil came to Calgary to visit Kathy. Jill was a wonderful woman who always treated me as part of the family from day one.
I really enjoyed their trips to Hong Kong and ours to Melbourne but what I enjoyed most was taking Jill out for lunches on my Melbourne layovers, just the two of us chatting., usually about Kathy and our kids but it always impressed me how much Jill asked about my family and how my parents were doing, it meant a lot.
The. one memory I have of Jill that tops all others is when they were in Hong Kong and I was coaching a kids hockey team. I got in the habit of shooting the puck at the glass in front of people who weren't looking at me, yes this was wrong but kinda amusing at the same time.
Well Kathy told me 'Don't shoot the puck at my parents, they are old and you will scare them'..... Well I was much more immature back then and after all Jill was watching me so what could go wrong.... So I shot the puck at Jill, my mother in law, and by some one in a million chance it went right through the glass and by her head. The glass shattered and fell all over her. Besides a small cut on her hand there were no injuries. Well not until Kathy got her hands on me.
Now the point of that story, Jill actually laughed. Well after she cleaned all the glass off her. She wasn't mad at me when she had every right to be.
This is the person I knew and remember Jill as.
She was great with our kids as well. Whether it was gardening or feeding her fish we loved her and will miss her very much!
Rest in Peace Jill.
Love Troy Ella and Cooper

Our deepest sympathy to all from Robyn Sterling & family.

Dear Addison family,
It was a privilege to know Jill and share fellowship with her through our church community and bible study group. I give thanks to God for her vibrant faith in Him, her creativity, her warmth, servant heartedness, her genuine interest in people and missions. Jill was always genuinely interested in our children and especially so during a difficult time. She was always prayerful for the beach mission our family is involved in and also other pursuits our children were involved in. She was always willing to contribute in whatever way she could to help. I can remember her once making a lot of bags for our daughter to take to Malawi when she visited a school there for example. Through the pandemic and beyond Jill and i shared many texts and photos and even journey's with craft projects. i know that these last years for Jill have been tough for health reasons but she was always amazing in how she kept going doing what she could. I had the privilege of sitting with her in church when she came to church for communion one Sunday in the pandemic. I know that she was blessed to be there but I also know that it also took a lot of effort. There is such comfort in knowing that she is no longer suffering and that she is with our Lord at peace. I pray that the Lord comforts each member or her family. I know that she loved each of you a lot and she spoke very fondly of her precious family. I am sorry that I am unable to be there in person on Monday but i will do my best to join on-line.
