Jill is preceded in death by her husband of 53 years, Philip H. Thibodeaux, her parents, Leroy & Vivian Scovill,

During their years together, Philip and Jill, also known as Philip's "Magnolia Blossom" had many adventures.
They owned and operated the Parkway Cafe in DeQuincy in the 1970's and opened their family business,
Thib's Pecan House in Longville in 1976. Jill's true passion was antiques and in the early 1990's she co-owned
with her dear friend, Anita Webb, the Sweet Buy & Buy antique shop in Longville. Although she had many
accomplishments in her life, the one Jill was most proud of was her years as a math teacher at Bishop Noland
Episcopal Day School and special education teacher at South Beauregard High School. She treated each of her
students as her own and was an advocate for them. Jill's hobbies were antique and garage sale shopping as well
as working in her beautiful flower beds.
Jill was a graduate of McNeese Junior College and Sulphur High School. She was a founding member of
Squyres United Methodist Church in Ragley and during the 1980's opened a daycare at Squyres to serve the
South Beauregard Community.
