Jill M. Parrot, 89, wife of Rollin Parrot, peacefully passed away with family by her side on Thursday, July 16, 2020.

Jill was born in Benton, OH on April 28, 1931 to Marion and R.T. Menuez and was one of eleven children.  She graduated from Holmesville High School, and on July 20, 1952 she married Rollin Parrot. They would have celebrated their 68th wedding anniversary on Monday, July 20th. Jill loved to fill our lives with happiness, dancing at family weddings, going on family hikes in the woods, and having summer picnics on the family farm that she and her husband established in 1961.  She was a homemaker, friend to many, and generous to all whom she met.  In retirement, she and Rollin traveled throughout the United States and Europe and enjoyed spending winters in their Florida home.  Jill was a former Sunday School teacher at Benton Lutheran Church, a member of the Women’s Missionary Society and the Stepping Stones Mother’s Club. Jill was also a member of the Salty Salts Lakeside Ladies Club.
