Jennifer Bower Fuqua

Jennifer Bower Fuqua (nee Jordan) of Broomall, PA, 55 years young, passed away Wednesday morning, April 16, 2025 with her beloved children Morgan, Michael, and Emily, and husband Jeff holding her close. Her final days were spent being showered with love and comfort by her family and friends. Jen fought a brave and courageous battle against colon cancer that spread to her lungs for over 4 years. She endured surgery, countless rounds of chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and experimental treatments over her journey. She faced her battle with strength, honesty, and hope. She made every second of every day count. Jen was born on November 23, 1969, daughter of Maryann and Robert Jordan. She was raised in Broomall, and graduated from Marple Newtown High School in 1987. Jen graduated from West Chester University with her Bachelor’s Degree in Education. She went on to teach at St. Mary Magdalen in Media, before leaving to take her dream job - being a mother to three wonderful children. Jen spent her early years with three brothers, Rob, Mark and Jason. They grew up watching and playing sports and were constantly cheered on and coached by their mom and dad. They vacationed often in Ocean City and took numerous trips to Disney World, creating many wonderful family memories. Jen continued these traditions with her own children, passing on her love of sports, the beach, and the magic of Disney. Jen was a huge sports fan, and was a passionate coach. She was her children’s number one fan and would loudly cheer at all of their games. She was an avid Phillies fan, and rarely missed a game, from the Von Hayes era in the 80’s with her best friend Carol, to the 2025 team with her favorite player, JT Realmuto. After meeting Jeff in 2009, Jen began the greatest romance of her life. Their love was a constant source of joy, strength, and companionship, and remained unwavering through every chapter they shared together. They shared a love of country music and had many house parties at their Tiki Bar. Jen hosted a lot of friends over the years, especially the Fab 5, neighborhood gang, and all of the Marple crew. Jen had an infectious personality, and was able to make friends with anyone. She was warm and affectionate and would always be the first to lend her support to others. During her final days, she would consistently ask others how they were, or ask personal details about their lives and families. Jen was truly the most caring and compassionate person. Family was most important to her. From a young age, she said that her goal was to be a mom just like her own mom, and she echoed these sentiments in her final days. Jen was the best and most loving mother, and this was her proudest accomplishment. She cherished her three children, and did anything and everything for them. Besides being their biggest fan at every sporting event, she was a dedicated homeroom mom, coach, booster mom, and Girl Scout Troop leader. During her final months, Jen’s children cared for her with the kindness, love and patience that she showed them throughout their lives. She always had someone by her side during her 4-year journey, from her husband to her mom to her sister-in-law Linda. And with prayers, meals, calls, and messages from her friends each day, Jen knew she fought her battle with a small army behind her at all times. Jen leaves behind her husband, Jeff, 23-year-old daughter Morgan, and 21-year-old twins Michael and Emily. Additionally, Jen is survived by her parents Robert and Maryann, brothers Rob, Mark (Linda), Jason, niece Katie, nephews Bobby and Jack, and stepsons Jay and Zach. The family is devastated at the loss of the most loving, caring, compassionate and remarkable woman. They vow to make Jen proud, stick together, continue her traditions, and celebrate her memory by living every day to the fullest. Family and friends are invited to visit St. Pius X in Broomall on Friday, April 25, 2025 from 9:00 am to 11:00 am. A funeral mass will begin at 11:00 am in the church.
