Jay Fowler Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Jay was a selfless and happy soul who lived with open arms and an open heart. She was deeply involved in her school and community, participating in Unified Sports, the IT Help Desk, the Poetry Club, drawing & being into the arts, and beating her parents at chess. She was a proud supporter of the LGBT+ community and fought for inclusion among everyone. Her love for learning extended to languages and cultures from around the world and had traveled to several countries including the Philippines, Japan, France & Canada.
Jay cherished her time with family, and her bond with her siblings - Frankie Johnson, Chris and Audrey Bridgforth. She is deeply loved and missed by her parents: father Jesse Fowler and wife Shannon Bridgforth "Ate", and mother Alexsa Briggs and husband Franklin Johnson "Papa". She also leaves behind her partner Jazmin Lester, "Nobyo". Jay leaves behind a large, loving family and a wide circle of friends who were all touched by her compassion and light.
A public celebration of life will be held on Wednesday, June 11, 2025 from 4pm-7pm, at Hobbs Funeral Home, 671 US Route 1, Scarborough, ME. All who knew and loved Jay are welcome to attend and honor her memory. In lieu of flowers, we will be accepting donations in her honor to go to the Scarborough Unified Sports program at https://www.gofundme.com/f/continue-jays-selfless-mission. If you prefer flowers, please use Fleur de Lis Floral Design on Ocean St in South Portland.
