My Story

Jillian "Jilly" Ripley, 14, of Mechanicsburg, Ohio passed away on Thursday, December 5, 2019 in her home surrounded by her loving family, following her 4-year courageous battle with cancer. Jilly was born February 3, 2005 in London, Ohio. She attended Mechanicsburg High School, Class of 2023. She enjoyed bowling, working her livestock, camping, basketball, exotic cars, taking photos, shoes and make-up. Jilly was beautiful inside and out. Her smile was contagious and lit up any room that she entered. She will be sadly missed by all who knew her. Jilly is survived by her parents, Mike Linkous and Julia Ripley, her brother, Jacob Ripley, her sister, Taylor and Mikayla Linkous, numerous aunts, uncles and cousins including special cousins Kalieb, Aubrey, Daltyn, and Eva, as well as a host of friends and family.
