Dear Caroline, Melanie and Tom, sending you and your families my deepest condolences in the loss of your Mom.
I was just thinking about her several weeks ago, wondering if i should try the phone number I had. And then I received the message that she had passed away.
Your Mom was very special to me. I think that we clicked from the moment we met. She was interviewing me for a position at Ottawa St. as the Masters swim coach.
I will always treasure the memories of working with her. She taught me so much about work, leadership and life. She insisted of me going with her to my first funeral, were I cried for at least 20 minutes straight. She was my first visitor when I had our first son. and let me keep working...until #3 was born.
Your Mom did so much for the kids on Ottawa Street, not just the ones that can to work for her. I think she would be proud of how they turned out.
I will remember her for all those good things and more
Black coffee from Timmies!

My deepest sympathies to the family of Jill Elliott. Jill was an inspiration to me. She encouraged me to pursue swimming when my youngest child took lessons. With her help I continued on to having a 30 year career with the YWCA starting as a Swim Instructor and ending as the Director of the MacNab St YWCA Seniors Centre. Thank you Jill.

My sincere condolences to Jill's family. I worked at the Ottawa Street Y for "Mrs.Elliott" all through my high school and university days in the 70's. She was a mentor and wonderful boss lady that I looked up to and valued. I continued my Aquatic career because of her, as my profession in Peterborough, as an City Aquatic Supervisor and later a City Recreational Facility Manager.
She gave me the foundation, opportunity and work ethic as a young teenager and young woman. How lucky was I to have such a positive environment to work at as I was learning the ropes.
The world will miss Jill Elliott but her force is still around in those she touched.❤

I was five when the pool opened in Caledonia. I was barely taller than the water in the shallow end, but I could swim! Spent a great deal of time at the pool over many summers. Distinctly remember the following incident: Jill was off duty, chatting with a friend poolside. Seeing one swimmer in trouble in the deep end, I came up to her and said "excuse me" and pointed. Jill followed my pointing finger and immediately dove in, then hauled the little girl on deck. A minor incident, but Jill made a point of thanking me later. Fify-five years later, it remains a strong memory.

My heart felt condolences to Jill's family. It was a long time ago, at the Y, but my memories are only fond of a beautiful lady and the times I spent among her family.
