Jill Chen Stowell, 56, of Coconut Creek, FL passed away peacefully at home on May 25. She was the fourth of five children, born January 26, 1970 in Taipei, Taiwan. Jill traveled to the USA in 1995 to pursue studies in International Business in Dallas, TX, continuing to Florida in 1998 and completing her MBA with Florida Atlantic University.

Jill went on to develop a successful career in purchasing & procurement, ultimately working with NextEra Energy in Juno Beach, while also developing a yoga practice and obtaining yoga teacher certification. A small woman with a huge heart, Jill was known to always have an encouraging word and was broadly admired for her infectious positivity and generous spirit.

She found great joy in food and loved to dance, but otherwise sought to commune with nature as often as possible. Jill also fostered a strong interest in spiritual development, devoting tremendous energy in later years to her study of meditation and Buddhism.

Jill is survived by her husband, Nathan; in Taiwan by her sisters, Gillian and Julie, as well as an older brother. She was preceded in death by her eldest sister, Crystal.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to World Central Kitchen , Feeding South Florida , your local food bank or preferred charitable organization.
