Daughter of George and Edith McKeon.
Sister of Michael.
Wife of Tom.

Jill worked for the ABC in an administrative and occasional on-air role at the 774 ABC Melbourne radio station.

A public march, organised by Melbourne photographer Phillip Werner, took place on 30 September 2012, two days after the discovery and recovery of Meagher's body. Approximately 30,000 people walked along Sydney Road in her memory. The march also symbolised broader concerns about violence against women, with ensuing discussion on current issues websites. Afterwards, Edith McKeon, Jill Meagher's mother, publicly thanked the Melbourne community for its support.

In a media statement, Meagher's family again thanked the public for its support. They also asked that the public respect their privacy at the funeral service and cremation, which took place at Melbourne's Fawkner Memorial Park on 4 October 2012. The cemetery was locked for the day, with only invited guests allowed in. The guests included police officers and ABC colleagues.
