Heaven just got another Angel. Always in the supporting role, Jackie Spiller took good care of her family while helping to launch and grow Spiller Furniture with her husband James. She lived life as a role model for all who knew her. Her attributes of kindness and love were followed closely by her cooking which fed her big family often, especially every Sunday after church. Her tomatoes and homemade peanut brittle was always her calling card. She shared her God-given gift of music with her children, teaching them the joy that making music brings. The Taylorville United Methodist Church choir enjoyed her alto voice for many years, and she made sure all her children and grandchildren sang alongside her nieces, nephews, and in-laws, all in perfect harmony. The four grandsons and four granddaughters will serve as pallbearers. Honorary pallbearers include all past and present members of Taylorville United Methodist Church, Friendship Sunday School Class, special friend Jim Duncan, Peggy Adams, friends and neighbors in Taylorville community, staff of Capstone Village, and Forest Manor. Memorial gifts may be made to the Taylorville United Methodist Church Building Fund. Heaven just got another Angel"� a real good one.
