It is with an extremely heavy heart, the Society of International Affairs Board of Directors regrets to inform you that Jill Garrison passed away on January 21, 2019 from complications related to her long battle with Carcinoid Syndrome.  She is survived by her husband Scott, and her two sons Bryce and Brett.

Jill served as SIA’s Business Manager for over 15 years. However, Jill was so much more than the Business Manager for SIA.  Jill was our anchor.  Without Jill, this organization would not be what it is today; she helped transform SIA, and helped guide our volunteers, and keep our Board on the straight and narrow.

Jill brought exuberance and grace to everything that she did.  She touched so many hearts throughout the years with her smile, laughter, quick wit, and not just external but inner beauty. Many of us have had the privilege to work with her and have been fortunate enough to be able to call her our friend.

There are not sufficient words to capture the grief that many of us are experiencing at this time.  However, knowing Jill, she is at peace and she lived an amazing life, gracing us each in our own way.

We ask that you all remember her vitality and all that she was, and celebrate her rich, fulfilling life. We will always carry her in our hearts.

The Garrison Family kindly requests, should you wish, in lieu of flowers please donate to the Neuroendocrine Tumor Research Foundation: https://netrf.org/

Thank you.
