NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Jillian Morgan Tatro, 38, of North Adams, was very abruptly, violently and sorrowfully taken away from us all, on Sunday, May 29, 2022, by the hands of her abuser.
She was born in Pittsfield on Aug. 12, 1983, a daughter of Linda (Poplaski) Tatro-Winter and the late William L. Tatro.
She attended schools in Adams. Jillian worked as her mother’s personal caregiver for the last several years. She was also mother, a brand-new gramma, a daughter, a sister, an aunt, a niece, a cousin, and friend.
Besides her mother of Cheshire, she is survived by her daughter, Kassidy Tatro of North Adams; her son, Darian Vidal of North Adams; her sister, Jennifer Tatro of Adams; her brother, Allan Tatro of Cheshire; half-siblings Billy, Kelly and Ruby; her beloved and most cherished grandbaby Marcel; her closest friend Kristen; her two adored dogs whom she referred to as the "pretty eye gang," Simba and Brutus, as she reunites with her beloved dog Mischa. Also leaving many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and cousins.
Jillian had a sweet and unworldly personality and lived life very spontaneously. She was a beautifully created free spirit with a gentle soul, a people pleaser and an animal lover who would generously give to those in need, who saw the good in every person and every situation, who was always willing and ready to help others, who always had a smile on her face, who lit up every room she entered, and who turned many a head.
She was a member of the NRA and grew to enjoy all things nature. She loved to hunt, hike, fish, kayak, and camp. She also enjoyed soaking up the sun, planting, cooking, and her most favorite, shopping. Her time of most importance was spent with her children, to whom she was deeply devoted and her everything, as well as her new grandbaby, whom she earned the most fitting title as "Glamma."
Jillian's desperately saddened eyes have forever left an ingrained stain in our hearts. May the power and purpose of Angels keep her protected and safe for all eternity. Jillian will be deeply missed by all whose lives she affected, loved her, or simply knew her; and her beautiful and courageous life will forever be cherished in the lives of her children.
A celebration of Jillian's life will be held at a later date to be announced by the family.
FUNERAL NOTICE: There will be no calling hours. PACIOREK FUNERAL HOME, 13 Hoosac St. is in charge of arrangements. To leave a message of condolence, please go to www.paciorekfuneral.com.
