A Toast to Jill: Honoring Her Love and Laughter

It is with heavy hearts and deep sorrow that we share the unexpected passing of our beloved Jill Imperial, who left us on the morning of November 20th, 2024. Jill was a woman of unparalleled kindness, warmth, and generosity—traits that made her a cherished friend, family member, and pillar in her community. Anyone who was fortunate enough to know Jill would agree that she had an extraordinary gift for making people feel seen, loved, and valued.

Jill dedicated much of her life to caring for others, especially her parents, Joe and Joan Imperial, with whom she shared an unbreakable bond. She selflessly served as their caregiver through their illnesses, always putting their needs above her own. Her devotion to her family, her community, and her faith was unwavering, and she truly exemplified what it means to live a life of service.

Known for her vibrant spirit and infectious smile, Jill was the heartbeat of every gathering. Her home was always open to friends and family, where she would share her love through making extravagant home cooked meals. Jill's laughter could light up any room, and her generous heart touched everyone who crossed her path. She was an extraordinary cook and a master of hospitality, known for creating warm, welcoming spaces where memories were made.

Jill’s love for her faith and community was equally profound. A devout member of Holy Innocents Church in Neptune, NJ, she was an active participant in parish life and was deeply involved in serving others. She gave so much of herself, and in return, she touched countless lives, leaving an indelible mark on all who were fortunate enough to know her.

As we navigate the grief of losing Jill, we are humbly asking for your support to help us honor her life and legacy by contributing to her funeral expenses. Any donation, big or small, will go directly to the expenses related to her memorial service. Your generosity will allow us to give Jill the farewell she deserves, and to carry forward her legacy of love, kindness, and selflessness.

A Mass to celebrate Jill’s life will be held at Holy Innocents Church in Neptune on December 7th, 2024, at 11:00 AM. We invite all those who knew and loved Jill to join us in honoring her memory.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support, your prayers, and your love during this incredibly difficult time. Jill was truly a gift to all of us, and she will be deeply missed but never forgotten.

With love and gratitude,

Bianca Imperial
