Jill was born October 29, 1968 in Oxnard, California to Melvin and Carole (Zander) Tarwater. She graduated High School in Bellville, Texas. She attended Texas A&M University and received a Bachelor of Geosciences Degree in 1991. She married Clint Flatt on June 5, 1993 and they were blessed with two children, Tyler and Molly. Although being a busy mother, Jill decided to continue her education and graduated with a Masters degree from t.u. in 2007. Like her mother and older brother she dedicated her life to teaching. She was presently employed by Groesbeck ISD; she had dedicated 34 years to teaching in the classroom.

Jill enjoyed spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren. She loved her children, but nothing can compare to the love a grandmother has for her grandchildren. 

When time permitted, Jill enjoyed a relaxing walk the pasture, gardening, canning and taking the camper to tailgate at A&M football games. She also found peace in coloring books and reading supernatural mystery books. Her favorite color was purple, and she liked to listen to 80’s pop rock music.

Jill is survived by her husband, Clint Flatt; son, Tyler Flatt and wife, Riley; daughter, Molly Flatt; grandchildren, Luka Adams and Abby Flatt; parents, Melvin and Carole Tarwater; brothers, Paul and Curtis Tarwater; father and mother-in-law, Dick and Linda Flatt; God children and grandchildren, A.J. and Ellen Reyes and their children, Amelia and Eliseo.
