Jill Diane Woodside, of Florissant, Missouri, passed away suddenly in her home in Wichita, Kansas, at the age of 41. Jill was the loving daughter of Terri Wright and Paul Woodside; cherished sister of Heather (Joe Stulce) Woodside, Amy Woodside, Rebbeca Purschke, Catherine Woodside; treasured aunt of Kylee Nicole Woodside, Jackson Paul Woodside-Miller, Ella Catherine Woodside-Purschke, Charlee Jo Woodside, Timothy Lance Purschke, and Saige Rebecca Woodside; dearest granddaughter of Lucetta and Donald Glenn Wright, and the late Joan and Robert Woodside.
Jill was a graduate of Hazelwood Central High School, and went on to complete her bachelor's and master's from the University of Missouri-St. Louis. She was vice president of business development for Cushman Wakefield-Facility Solutions since 2017. She was adored by her co-workers, and not only was she an exceptional “boss,” she was a strong leader, and a wonderful friend who cared for so many. The integrity and grace she carried will strongly be missed in the office.
Jill was known for being kind, loving, and compassionate, not only in her personal life, but also in her professional life. She could light up a room with her beautiful smile, infectious energy, and witty sense of humor. The dedication to her family, career, and faith was inspiring to all who knew her. Jill is irreplaceable, and the passion to help those in need led her to participate in multiple charities and organizations.
The bond Jill and her sisters had with each other was fierce and full of heartfelt joy. She loved and adored her nieces and nephews; they were her whole world. She enjoyed traveling, but her best memories were made with family and friends. To know Jill was to love her, she was a one-of-a-kind and a class-act, and that is the legacy she will leave behind. She was dearly loved and will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
