Jillian Elaine Harris, 21, of Sinking Spring entered the Kingdom of Heaven on Friday, January 6, 2012 at St. Joseph Medical Center, Reading, PA after a valiant fight with pneumonia.

Jillian was a senior at Wilson High School in Mrs. Diane Anderson's Multiple Disability classroom.

She was a member of Best Buddies club at Wilson. She enjoyed going to her work training program at the Crowne Plaza and Abilities in Motion with her job coach, Bonnie Kleinschmidt. She loved shopping, crafts and exploring the world around her.
