Obituary: Morton - Jill L. Leander, 49, of Morton, died peacefully surrounded by her family at 11:07 a.m. , Sept. 7, 2014, at Unity Point Methodist in Peoria.
She was born Feb. 25, 1965, in Peoria, the youngest child to Herbert and Darlene (Roth) Roth. She met her husband, Todd Leander, during their days at Olivet Nazarene University. Her parents were thrilled as he was practically local, being from Canton. He was a perfect match for her and they married on May 30, 1987, in Morton.

Jill adored her nephews, thanked God when nieces arrived and has savored every minute she was able to spend with the next generation of great nieces and nephews.
One of her greatest joys was when she finally got her girl when Ryan married Anna last .
Jills affection for her big brothers was deep. prepared her well for her adult life in a house of men. So much of who she was had deep roots in her life as a farm girl and her strong faith in Christ.
She attended First Mennonite Church of Morton her entire life and spent countless hours serving with children, youth and the sick. During her illness, she never missed an opportunity to visit someone who was having a hard time.
Jill spent her professional career as a clinical laboratory scientist at Unity Point Methodist and made lifelong friends. She cared about them as another family was deeply moved by their acts of kindness during her illness.
She was an amazing friend to all who knew her whether they met her at school, church, in the bleachers or simply by crossing paths. Her genuine compassion, huge heart and servants hands will never be forgotten. She walked in grace, humility and a beauty lit from within.
Services will be held at 10 a.m. , Sept. 11, 2014, with Rev. Aaron Yoder and Rev. Doane Brubaker officiating. Visitation will be from 4 to 7 p.m. , Sept. 10, and from 9 to 9:45 a.m. , both at the church. Burial will be at Pleasant Grove Mennonite in rural Tremont.
