Jill Perez

Jill M. Perez, 60, of Harrisburg, formerly of Steelton, transitioned into eternal life on July 1, 2021, after a courageous battle with Multiple Sclerosis. Born on May 17, 1961, she was the daughter of the late Earl S. and Lucy F. (Rohacek) Coleman. She was also preceded in death by her sister Tina M. McClendon, her brother Douglas E. Coleman, and her nephew Earl S. Coleman III.

Jill attended Steelton-Highspire School District and was a former secretary for the Borough of Steelton until her diagnosis. She loved spending time in the kitchen, making delicious meals for her family. She was an avid fan of Luther Vandross and loved watching sports, from football to basketball to UFC. Most of all she loved her family, who were the sunshine of her life, including her furbabies. Her pleasant personality was contagious to everyone she met.
