Angela Kay Gill, age 52, passed away early Friday morning, May 8, 2026, at her home in Flora, Illinois.
Angie was born on May 3, 1974, the first child of Stephen and Connie (Burgess) Gill. Despite suffering with a debilitating, degenerative disease for decades, Angie lived a happy life full of love. When she was four years old, her little brother was born, and Angie was an amazing big sister. She loved her family and friends fiercely, and was known for her generous spirit. During her younger years, Angie had many hobbies and interests that brought her joy. She loved painting and photography, collecting unique jewelry, caring for animals, and spending time in nature. She planted beautiful roses and had a special fondness for picturesque creeks.
Angie was baptized as one of Jehovah's Witnesses on June 25, 1988, and she found great comfort in her faith. All who met her were amazed by her fortitude in the face of extraordinary difficulties. She attributed her ability to endure to the promises found in the Bible and her hope for a better future. (Psalms 37:11)
Angie is survived by her devoted parents; brother, Michael (Darah) Gill; nephew, Michael Evan Gill; and niece, Aeryn Gill - all of Flora, IL; paternal aunts and uncles, Lorena Gill of Clay City, IL, Rick (Glenda) Gill of Flora, IL, Sandra (Jim) Lingle of Flora, IL, and RJ (Patty) Gill of Cottonwood, AZ; maternal aunt, LuAnne Pennington of Mishawaka, IN; numerous cousins; and many friends who felt like family.
She was preceded in death by her paternal grandparents, Eldon Gill and Betty Cooper; paternal uncle, Robin Gill; maternal grandparents, Ancil Burgess and Lois Thomas; and maternal infant uncle, David Burgess.
