Jill's life and legacy began as the devoted daughter of Bonnell Maple and the late Harry B. Maple. She was raised in Madison, Connecticut along with her four siblings; Scott, Dean, Bonnie and Joy. In Madison, Jill developed an abiding love of the seashore, and took pleasure in riding her orange ten-speed Schwinn bicycle along the coast.
After graduating from Sweet Briar College, Jill began her career in Connecticut at Times Fiber Communications while also earning her M.B.A. from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Jill’s talent in marketing and public relations led her to Duracell Inc. and ultimately, The Gillette Company, Boston, MA.
Jill and John M. Fallon Jr. began their married life together on a rainy July 4th in 1992 at The Beach Club in Centerville, MA. They created a beautiful family and home in Wrentham, MA, yet relished the opportunity to return to The Beach Club for many subsequent summers where they created lifelong memories with family and friends. They enjoyed a Fallon family home in Centerville and loved the beautiful Nantucket sound.
Jill was the proud mother of Jack Fallon and Harrison Fallon. After several years with The Gillette Company, Jill traded in her seat on the commuter train for a seat in the bleachers to avidly watch her boys play a variety of sports, especially lacrosse. Jill delighted in watching her boys grow and develop both on and off the field.
Jill was strong-willed, hard-working, loyal, loving and generous. She appreciated music, flowers, home decorating and entertaining. Throughout the years, Jill could be found listening to her favorite playlist while arranging a vase of hydrangeas prior to hosting a festive gathering, with John as her culinary expert. Jill’s favorite quiet pursuit was walking her black-lab pups Ethan and then, Coal, in the early morning hours throughout her neighborhood.
Over the past twenty years, Jill, personally and professionally, raised money for sports programs, the American Cancer Society and Senior Care Communities through fundraising events and grant writing. Please continue her legacy by celebrating Jill’s life with a donation to your favorite charity in her honor. A memorial for Jill will be held at a later date and we will notify all family and friends.
