Jill Marie Adams, beloved mother, grandmother, and pillar of the Adams-Johansen family, passed away peacefully on May 9, 2024, at the age of 81. She was born on January 12, 1943, in Eugene, Oregon, to Lucille Marie McMullen Adams and Carson Glenn Adams. Jill grew up in Harrisburg, Oregon, where she attended Harrisburg High School, forming many lifelong friendships.

Jill was a woman of strength and determination, traits she carried with her throughout her life. She spent the majority of her career as a Regional Sales Manager at Truitt Brothers, where her dedication and professionalism left a lasting impact. Later in life, she found joy and fulfillment as a school bus driver for the Silverton School District, appreciating the opportunity to interact with children and serve her community.

Family was the cornerstone of Jill's life. She is survived by her loving children, Clint Johansen (Kim Johansen), Hayley Miller (Roger Miller), and Robin Johansen DuVal (Josh DuVal). Although her daughter Dana Johansen preceded her in death, Jill's memory lives on through her children and grandchildren. Jill was blessed with ten grandchildren whom she cherished deeply: Christopher, Tiffany, Sirrissa, Carson, Zachary, Zane, Hannah, Daniel, David, and Jonathan. She also leaves behind two great-grandchildren, Aspen and Olive, who brought immense joy to her life.

Jill was a fierce matriarch, offering guidance, support, and unwavering love to all who knew her. Jill's strength of character, sharp wit, and unyielding spirit will be deeply missed by her family and friends.
