Jill started playing the piano for Sunday School when she was about 16 years old, then moved on to playing for church services.  Her favorite thing, however, is directing the juBELLation choir at church.  Jill says its a great pleasure to work with people who have never read music and within a relatively short period of time have them making beautiful music together.  She has recently taken on the responsibility of leading the chancel choir and praise team and is looking forward to leading the people of Woodland Presbyterian Church in both singing and ringing praises.   Her other joy is her seven grandchildren who keep her hopping!
