Obituary for Jill P. King (Perkins)
JILL PERKINS KING
Jill P. King, 56 years old, died Thursday, September 29, 2022 at her residence in Wells.
Jill was born in Concord, MA on November 19, 1965 to Jackson Perkins and Beverly (Cousins) King.
Jill, as a cheerful and energetic young woman, became known to her family and friends, as “Jilly Bean”. She remained a generous and social soul throughout her life.
Jill began her education at The Little Red Schoolhouse in Ogunquit before going on to Wells Junior High. While in Jr. High, Jill won a Miss Maine Teen title at age 13. She graduated from Berwick Academy in the class of 1983, then continued her education to receive a bachelor’s in business from Green Mountain College in Poultney, VT.
After working just five years for WH Shurtleff Company in Portland, Jill purchased King’s Court Motel in Ogunquit, which she owned and operated for 16 years, before retiring to Wells.
Among Jilly Bean’s hobbies were making decorations from shells, driftwood and dried flowers, and many other crafts, as well as cooking and baking her famous chocolate chip cookies for friends and events. She also enjoyed photography, skiing and golfing. She golfed everywhere she traveled from Maine to Florida, even in Hawaii and St. Thomas, USVI.
Jill was predeceased by her parents, Jack and Bev King; brothers, Robert “Willy” King, Jackson “Jack” P. King, Jr., and her brother-in-law Andrew “Drew” Barrett, Jr.
She is survived by sisters, Kathy J. King of Wells, Debra A. Powers of Griffin, GA, sister-in-law Gail King of South Berwick, her niece Sierra D. Barrett of Griffin, GA and her cousins. She will also be mourned and greatly missed by extended family members, Brenda Putnam Brassard, Joyce Scally and many others, too numerous to name.
A Celebration of Life for Jill will be held Saturday, October 15, 2022 from 2-5PM at her “church”, the VFW Post 6977, 75 Cape Neddick Road, York, ME 03909. Come visit with family and friends, share your stories or listen to ours.
