Born in Flushing, New York, she was the daughter of the late John and Francoise Cody. The eldest of five siblings, she was raised primarily in Connecticut and had most fond memories of summers spent in Cape Cod, sailing and traveling New England with her parents and brothers, John "Jack" Cody Jr., Douglas Cody, and Scott Cody; and sister, Judy Demint.
After graduating from Sweet Briar College in 1964, with a Bachelor's Degree in Mathematics, Jill married James Conrad Jones, a native of Lynchburg. The town remained her home for 54 years. They had six children who adored her, Ellen J. Wells of Duck, N.C., Chrissy J. Brady of Southern Shores, N.C., Susan K. Jones, Frances J. Bryant, James C. Jones Jr., all three of Lynchburg, and John C. Jones (Ashley) of Watersound, Fla. She is also survived by eight grandchildren, George, Charles, and Jack Brady Jr., Stephanie and Chad Bryant, Jeffrey Wells Jr., and Avery and Henry Jones.
In addition to her devotion to her own six children, Jill was director of the Nursery at St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Lynchburg, and cared for little ones of the parish on Sunday mornings for 30 years.
