Hooksett, NH : Hooksett teen hit by car passes away on September 21 2016

A 16-year-old Hooksett girl who was hit by a car last week has passed away.Jillian Nelson was a junior at Pinkerton Academy in Derry.

She had been transported by helicopter to a Boston hospital with serious injuries and spent a week on life support prior to her death.

Members of Nelson’s church, where she was an active member, have set up a GoFundMe account in her name to help pay her medical expenses and the cost of her funeral.

They said she will be sorely missed.

“Jillian was one of the sweetest girls I have ever known,” said Michael Stark, a youth pastor at St. Catherine of Siena Church in Manchester. “She always thought of others first – truly service-oriented – and I’ve really never seen someone as a teenager truly love their family as much as she did.”

Counselors at Pinkerton will be on hand this week to help students struggling with grief.
