Jill was born on July 15th, 1966 in Bremerton, Washington, and was adopted by her loving parents Adrian J and Evelyn Hodgkinson, of Orem Utah. Jill's early life was filled with adventure, which brought to life her love for music and football. After living in Las Vegas and Seattle she ultimately settled down close to home in Utah County, where she met Randy Chapman and welcomed one daughter, Chelsey, who brought her endless joy and was the light of her life.

Jill had an unwavering desire for joy & connection. Whether friends or family, Jill was constantly looking out for her people, and could often be found in the kitchen preparing meals, baking cakes for weddings, or being the host of any party. She was a true foodie and treasured her time spent riding on the Harley with Tyler to various cultural festivals or food spots. Jill had a gift for connecting with people and animals, especially her dogs, she was truly a natural nurturer who derived so much pleasure in making the people around her feel so very special. She had a distinctive, beautiful laugh, one that warms hearts, breaks down barriers, and will live on in our hearts forever. Momma-Jill was beyond rich in the only way that truly matters; love, connection, and community. Her absence leaves a void in the hearts of many that will never be forgotten and her loving spirit will be sorely missed.

Jill was preceded in death by her father, Adrian J, her mother, Evelyn, "grandog" Maverick, her early life partners Randy Chapman and Jan Wilburg. She is survived by her pride and joy, daughter Chelsey, her partner of nearly 20 years, Tyler Yates, her sisters Lorna Uibel (Ross), and Trudy Meister (Dennis), her bothers Brent Hodgkinson (Sara), and Kevin Hodgkinson, her birth father Jack Warden, her dog Lola, and countless close friends and family from all walks of life.

We welcome anyone to join us in celebrating her rich and too short life this Saturday, March the 23rd.
