Jillian Bosworth of Peterborough was pronounced dead on the scene of the crash last Wednesday morning, after her car crossed the yellow line and collided head-on with another vehicle. She was 30.
Rosalie Carney, Bosworth’s sister, said that she “had a naturally caring and giving nature.”
“She was passionate about everyone loving and being kind to each other,” Carney said. “She thought too many things in the world were dividing everyone, and that all of us should come together and find peace.”
Bosworth worked as a materials coordinator at MilliporeSigma while taking classes for a career in environmental science. Her love for the environment was an example of how much she cared about everything and everybody, Carney said.
“Just beaming and radiating love,” Carney said. “Her bubbly energy was infectious, and her aura had a way of bringing people together. She literally did not have a malicious bone in her body. She saw the beauty in people, and the good in things. She had a very trusting heart.”
“She had a very sweet attitude on life, she was always a free spirit and a hard worker,” said Kayla Parks, a family friend who said she had known Bosworth for 13 years. “She will be missed by so many.”
“She was just a great person, and I just loved her as a friend, like a daughter,” said Donna Heath, who worked with Bosworth when she was an LNA at Cheshire Medical Center.
Bosworth was also creative and artistic, according to her sister, and deeply cared for others, both family and friends.
“Her family was everything, but friends were family to her too,” Carney said. “She had so many lifelong friends. When she loved someone, she never gave up on them, ever. One time she went hiking with a friend who lost her sister. They were spreading wildflower seeds in her memory at the top of a mountain, when Jill, without hesitation, poured the last of her water on them without saving any for herself. She didn’t know how special she was.”
Bosworth’s memorial will be at Next Level Church in Peterborough on Saturday, Nov. 6 at 11 a.m.
