NISKAYUNA - Jill A. Lovenheim, 50, passed away unexpectedly after suffering a cardiac episode at home, on Thursday, May 9, 2024. Born in New Hartford, N.Y., she was the daughter of Albert and Judith Lovenheim.

My most sincere condolences to the entire family. Jill sent me a Mother's Day card on Thursday, that's how thoughtful she was. I called her that night, and she was so very happy about Grady going to the prom, graduation, and going to visit her mom and dad on Sunday. Such a shock to hear this. My love and prayers to the family, Jim and friends. She will always be remembered in heart , such a lovely girl.

Jill was a wonderful mom. She was always prepared with a birthday dessert as well as a shirt each year for Alex. She was incredibly dedicated to making transitions for him go a smoothly as possible with creating social stories and providing fidgets. She was always checking in at school and the love she has for her children was very apparent through her actions. She will be deeply missed. My thoughts go to everyone in her family.
