Jill Bowles "Jillybean"- beloved mother, grandma, sister, wife, and friend gained her wings and went to paradise on the evening of July 6, 2022 with her close family surrounding her. She was reunited in Heaven with her parents, Tommie and Bill Skinner, and brothers Terry Ray and Larry Lynn. Jill was born March 20, 1958 in Seymour, Texas. Jill adored animals and spent much of her free time with her fur babies. Her pet pigs were also her pride and joy. Jill was a family woman, always caring for everyone else and took pride in being a stay at home mother. Jill never met a stranger and her attitude was bigger than life. Jill kept her eye rolls and silly winks going all the way until the end. Jill met the love of her life and married her lifelong partner, David Bowles. They spent a loving 34 years together. David always referred to her as his "Jillybean". Jill had a way of making everyone around her feel incredibly loved. She never failed to tell her family how important they were to her. Jill was the light in the darkest of times. Jill is survived by her beloved children: David Reed and wife, Amy, James Reed and wife, Jennifer, Darren Bowles and wife, Tammy, Patty Bowles, and Dwayne Bowles; devoted grandchildren: Hunter and Haley Reed, Tyler and Madison Reed, Haley Bowles, Katie and Lauren Bowles, and Dylan Bowles; treasured siblings: twin Jan Cagle, Marsha Homer, Janie Vasquez, Gary Conner, Mike Conner, and Ronnie Conner; as well as other extended family, nieces, nephews, and friends from all over who loved her and will miss her dearly.
