Jill Annette Barnes

​

Jill Annette (Johnson) Barnes, age 52, of Jenison, went to be with her Lord on Monday, December 20, 2021. Jill’s life focus was her daughter, Emily, who tragically passed in October. When she wasn’t with her daughter, she loved hiking, rock hunting, collecting plants, and dinners out with her many friends. Every Monday night her dad and stepmom would pick her up for dinner-she rarely missed those outings! Anyone who knew Jill loved her infectious laugh and heard about all of her “kids”. As a longtime daycare provider, she always knew just what to do when it came to children. She cared for many over the years and loved them all. Many of her daycare families became lifelong friends. She was preceded in death by her daughter, Emily; mother, Dorothy; and brother, Dan Johnson. Jill will be lovingly remembered by her father and stepmother, Roger and Martha Johnson, and several aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends. Jill was a beautiful soul, missed already by many. Funeral services will be held at noon on Tuesday, December 28, 2021 at Chapel Pointe, 3350 Baldwin St., Hudsonville, with Pastor Bob Bloom officiating. (Please use door C.) Burial will take place at Georgetown Township Cemetery. Relatives and friends may meet the family Tuesday one hour prior to the service at church. Those who wish may make memorial contributions to Jenison Pink Out in Jill’s name.
