Remembering Jane L. Hill, 1951-2026
Family and friends are remembering Jane Hill, and sharing this remembrance with the community:
Jane Leslie Hill (Byers) passed away suddenly in her beautiful Port Townsend home. She was 75.
Raised in Seattle, she enjoyed a fairytale childhood that included summers on Hood Canal and snow skiing in the Cascades. Janie was a proud graduate of West Seattle High School, class of 1969. There, she forged many lifelong friendships and went on to work in administration for Seattle City Light and the Seattle Police Department. Her work as a Guardian ad Litem was especially meaningful to her and the children she helped.
It was during her years with the SPD that Janie met her Harley-riding better half, Sgt. James “JJ” Hill. They loved to travel the world and most of all, cherished their time with relatives in Norway.
Janie had a particular fondness for seafood; clams were her specialty. She dug them, cooked them, and served them with an abundance of joy. Her Dungeness crab-cleaning skills were world class. Anyone at Janie’s kitchen island was treated to a culinary masterpiece.
Jane is predeceased by her parents, Agnes and DeVere J. Byers; her husband, Sgt. James “JJ” Hill; her beloved nephew, Jesse; and three cherished poodles, who must be mentioned and never forgotten.
She is survived by her siblings, Dan, Nancy, and David; her long-time sister-in-law, Penny; her stepchildren Joyce (John) and Jim, with their children; her nieces and nephew, Jessica, Tiffany (Sean), Julie, and Abe, with their families.
We “love you to the moon and back,” Janie.
The family wishes to thank her caregiver, Leslie Saylor.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to:
