Read More	Jill Alfaro age 57 of Philip, South Dakota, died June 6, 2013, at the Hans P. Peterson Memorial Hospital in Philip. Jill Ann Fitch was born October 24, 1955, in Kadoka, South Dakota, the third of three daughters, to Lewis E. "Bud" and Dorothy (Hansen) Fitch. Jill graduated from Philip High School in 1973. She and her mother purchased the 11-Mile Corner station. It was there she honed her pitch and pool playing abilities. Jill traveled with her sister, Diane, and two friends to Rome, Italy, for the Holy Year Celebration of 1975. In the early 80's, she and good friend Paula Erdmann moved to Amarillo, TX, to work for Ike & Florence Dale at their Husky Truck Stop. It was during this time that she married Juan Tomás Alfaro. After she and her daughter returned to Philip, she worked for the Box Factory before going to work at the local grocery store. She continued to work there until her death. Jill loved nothing more than being outside on a warm day, even those unbearably hot South Dakota days where even the breeze is blazing. She just loved the feeling of the sun hitting her skin. Nothing was better than being able to mow or even spend the day reading a good or terrible book, depending on what whether you liked Stephen King or some juicy suspense, with a cold beer in one hand and a bottle of sun tan lotion in the other. Her house was always filled with music! From golden oldies to some good old country as long as it was loud it didn't matter. She wasn't much of a singer, as anyone will tell you, but she was one hell of a dancer. Jill cared deeply for every child in our family but I know for sure she had a special place in her heart for the Slovek's, Kash, Kaydence, and Karli and they sure filled her heart with so much joy in the hardest months of her life. Although she is gone they can always count on Grandma Jill to be watching. Jill taught us many things without having to try too hard. For instance she taught us to strive to emulate a balance of strength and compassion, dignity and a love of mischief, but most importantly she taught us to never take life too seriously and to just be happy with the life you've got. Survivors include her daughter Dorothy Ann Alfaro and her fiance Kyle Hoemke of Philip; two sisters Diane Fitch and Marianne Frein and her husband Lloyd, all of Philip; nephews Tadd Moriarty of Chicago, IL, Vance (Anissa) Moriarty of Manhattan, KS, Jacob Frein (Melissa) of Rapid City, Patrick (Amanda) Moriarty of Rapid City, and Ian Moriarty of Rapid City; nieces Mikal (Rian) Rasmussen of West Des Moines, IA and Laura (Bruce) Potter of Brandon, SD; a grand-niece Eliza Potter; grand-nephews Brodi Moriarty, Finn and Donovan Moriarty, Colt and Carson Frein, Graham Rasmussen, and Wyatt Potter; and her special friends Gina Thorson of Wadena, Minnesota, and Heather Eisenbraun of Philip. Jill was preceded in death by her parents Bud and Dorothy Fitch; her grandparents; and a brother-in-law Tom Moriarty.
