Obituary published on Legacy.com by Knowlton & Hewins Funeral Home - Augusta on Mar. 27, 2026.
AUGUSTA - Jennifer Jan Bowdich, fondly known as JJ, Jen, and Jenny, passed away on Saturday, March 21, 2026, at the Alfond Center for Health with her loved ones by her side. Born in Quincy, Massachusetts, on December 26, 1966, Jennifer spent 59 loving years gracing the lives of those around her with her compassion and kindness. She was a woman of simple pleasures, always willing to lend a hand to those in need. Her peaceful and thoughtful demeanor was a beacon of comfort and warmth to all who knew her.

Jennifer's career in banking as a credit analyst was marked by the same dedication and generosity that characterized her personal life. She resided in Augusta, Maine, and over the years, she also lived in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Florida, and Utah, touching the lives of countless individuals across the country. Despite her professional accomplishments, Jennifer found her greatest joy in nature and animals, reflecting her gentle and loving spirit.

Jennifer is survived by her husband Steve Bowdich, brother, Richard Provost and wife Christa, sister, Laura Provost, father, Gordon Provost, and two stepdaughters, Jennifer Gannon and Laura Russell.

She was preceded in death by her mother, Carole Provost. Each family member carries memories of Jennifer's compassionate spirit and the love she gave so freely. Her radiant smile and unconditional love will be deeply missed, but her spirit will continue to live on in the hearts of those who were fortunate to know her.

In lieu of flowers please donate in Jennifer's memory to any animal shelter or rescue organization.

At her request there will be no services.

In honor of Jennifer, we invite you to share your memories and upload photos to her memorial page at www.khrfuneralhomes.com . Through shared stories and images, Jennifer's legacy of love and compassion will continue to touch lives and provide comfort to those who miss her.
