Jill Elaine Colbert

It is with heavy hearts and profound love that we announce the passing of our cherished Jill E. Colbert (Glunt) who departed this world peacefully on November 7, 2026, at her home in the comforting embrace of her family in Martinsburg, PA. Born on November 5, 1947, in Roaring Spring , PA, Jill was the 2nd youngest with 3 older brothers and one younger sister. Jill was a beacon of kindness and grace throughout her life, touching the hearts of all who were privileged to know her.

Jill was the beloved daughter of Gladys E. (McNally) and Johnny A. Glunt, and she was preceded in death by her parents, her siblings Terry Glunt, and Richard Glunt and her beloved husband James A. Colbert. She is survived by her devoted siblings, Ronald Glunt and Joy Smith (Glunt). Jill's legacy of love and warmth lives on through her children, James A. Colbert Jr. and Julie M. Colbert, her four treasured grandchildren, Jeramy A. Colbert, Jasmine M. Gray, Jada R. Colbert, and Jamaica M. Colbert, Jeffrey Russell and her precious great-granddaughter, Jaelynn M. Colbert.

Educated at Central High School, Jill later embarked on a fulfilling career, retiring from her position at Homewood in Martinsburg, PA. Her professional life was marked by dedication and integrity, but it was her personal life where Jill truly shone. Known affectionately as "Jilly" to those close to her, she possessed a heart of gold and an innate ability to make everyone around her feel special and loved. Her compassion knew no bounds, and she would go to any length to lend a helping hand.

Jill had a profound love for her family and a deep, abiding faith in her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Her hobbies reflected her gentle spirit; she found joy in simple pleasures like attending bingo and spending serene moments by the duck pond. These activities brought her immense happiness and peace.

Jill's family extends their deepest gratitude to the staff of Gentiva. Their unwavering support, empathy, and kindness during Jill's final days meant the world to her and her family. They took care of Jill not just as a patient, but as someone truly special, and for that, they will always hold a special place in the family's hearts.

In honoring Jill's memory, the family would request that donations be made to a charity of your choice, the Roaring Spring Library or Central High School Band, embracing Jill's spirit of generosity and love for others.

Jill Glunt will be remembered as a loving mother, grandmother, sister, and friend. Her radiant spirit and the love she shared will forever remain in the hearts of those she left behind. While we mourn her passing, we also celebrate the beautiful life she lived and the legacy of kindness and love she leaves behind.
