Later, Jennifer joined the editing teams of numerous films and television programmes, including “Sweet and Lowdown” by Woody Allen, “Gangs of New York” by Martin Scorsese, “Chappelle’s Show,” “The Sentinel,” etc. The Limbo Room by Debra Eisenstadt was her editorial debut.
After editing a number of television, movie, and short projects, Jennifer joined the ‘Are We There Yet?’ team on TBS to work on the twelve episodes of the show. Later, she edited films including “The One I Love,” “Something, Anything,” “Goodbye to All That,” “Frank & Lola,” etc. In the teen movie “Eighth Grade,” directed by Bo Burnham, Jennifer received praise for her editing. As the editor, she then joined the cast of the HBO comedy series “Mrs. Fletcher.” ‘Living with Yourself,’ ‘Love Life,’ ‘The Hater,’ etc. are among her last film credits. For her editing work on the Netflix comedy series “Master of None,” Jennifer received a Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Award in 2017.

They had their daughters Maddie and Theo in 2014 and 2016, respectively. ‘Crater’ ended up being one of Jennifer’s last editorial commitments before she passed away on December 23, 2021.
How Did Jennifer Lilly Die?
At the age of 48, Jennifer passed away on December 23, 2021 from ovarian cancer. Her family was there to support her as she quietly went away. At Brooklyn’s Plymouth Church, a memorial service was performed following her passing. In addition to her husband and kids, she is also survived by her parents, older sister, two younger brothers, and eight nieces and nephews. After her passing, a campaign was organised in her memory to help fund University of Pennsylvania research into the development of novel treatments for clear-cell ovarian cancer.
After her passing, Jennifer’s former coworkers cherished her memory. “Collaborating with an editor is such a close job. You need a partner who can perform the task well, but you also need someone who can make it enjoyable and rewarding to spend hours alone in a dim room editing, which can be a laborious and occasionally stressful process. When I worked with Jennifer Lilly, I had the best collaborator ever, according to Aziz Ansari, who also collaborated with Jennifer on the film “Master of None.” She will be sorely missed, Ansari continued.
The 16 weeks I spent cooped up with Jen Lilly in a tiny, windowless room were among the most delightful of my life. Bo Burnham, who collaborated with Jennifer on “Eighth Grade,” told CineMontage that what made Jen such an incredible person also made her such an extraordinary editor: her patience, her humour, her brilliance, her emotional attention, and her heart. Jen was the entire package: as a person, as a professional, and as a friend. “So frequently in our field, you have to measure personalities vs. skillsets, how much you can stand a person vs. how much they might bring to the table artistically. I sincerely appreciate the time I spent with her, Burnham continued.
