Jill Metcalf, 78, passed away on Friday, June 22, 2018 at Danbury Hospital.
Born in Norwalk, Connecticut, she was the daughter of Gladys and Ernest Ingram, Jr. She attended Newtown schools, and went on to become a hairdresser. She owned and operated several hair salons over the years.
She was a member of the VFW Post 308 Ladies Auxiliary and Sandy Hook Fire Department Ladies Auxiliary. She enjoyed painting and watching the birds through her kitchen window. She will not only be remembered for her contagious laughter, but also her bright, bold, and friendly spirit.

She was predeceased by her brother, John, her son, Jack, and her former spouse, Chester “Chet” Metcalf.
