Jill Cowan Stevens, special education teacher

Jill Cowan Stevens was a cherished individual whose memory continues to shine brightly in the hearts of many. Jill lived a life marked by compassion and kindness before passing away Monday, March 11, 2024, in Lewes. She was born Dec. 5, 1964, in Jacksonville, Fla.

Jill was a graduate of Cape Henlopen High School Class of 1982. Jill's commitment to nurturing young minds led her to a fulfilling career as a special education teacher for 16 years. Her passion for education and the well-being of her students left an indelible mark on the community.

Jill's love knew no bounds, especially when it came to her family. She is survived by her daughter, Sarah; her sister, Michelle; her brother Billy; her nieces, Alex and Maggie; her nephews, Pierson, Josh and James; two great-nephews, and three great-nieces. A host of cousins and innumerable friends also feel the profound loss of Jill's passing. She was predeceased by her loving parents, Marlys and Bill Cowan; and her aunts, Vernice and Frances Coffin.

Those who knew Jill will fondly remember her for the loving, kind, and generous spirit she had. Her interests were simple yet profound, spending quality time with her girls, enjoying days on the Mav porch, basking in beach days, and cherishing moments with friends.

Jill's warm presence will be profoundly missed, yet her spirit will continue to inspire all who were blessed to know her.
