Jill Marie Cohen

Jill Marie Cohen, a radiant light in the lives of those who knew her, was born on June 5, 1962, in the picturesque town of Pensacola, Florida. With a spirit as vibrant as the sunny shores she loved, Jill embraced every moment with the joy and enthusiasm that made her so special. She peacefully left this world on December 14, 2025, in her beloved hometown, surrounded by the memories that colored her life and the love she generously shared.

A devoted mother, Jill's greatest pride and joy was her son, Stephen Cohen. She poured her heart into nurturing and guiding him, always encouraging him to chase his dreams with the same passion that fueled her own adventures. Her unwavering support and affection will forever echo in his heart.

Jill cherished the bond she had with her siblings: Mary Kominsky, John Kominsky, and Robin Niedzwiecki. As a fun-loving sister, she brought laughter and joy into their lives, creating lasting memories filled with love and camaraderie. The warmth of her spirit brightened every family gathering, reminding them all of the importance of connection and support. She is also remembered fondly by her sister-in-law, Debbie Kominsky, who experienced firsthand Jill’s loving nature and generous heart.

In her heart, Jill carried the love of her parents, Joseph and Mary L. Kominsky, whose strength and kindness shaped the beautiful woman she became. Her cherished brothers, Lee and David Kominsky, who have passed, hold places within her heart and her memories, as they shared a bond unique and unbreakable.

Jill was a natural caregiver, always ready to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. Whether it was a friendly ear, a comforting meal, or a shoulder to cry on, she found fulfillment in caring for others and touching their lives. The beach was not just a getaway for Jill; it was a sanctuary where she felt at peace and connected to the world around her. She embodied the spirit of the ocean—boundless, nurturing, and filled with life.

A Celebration of Life will be held in late January. As we gather to remember and honor Jill Marie Cohen, let us celebrate the love, laughter, and light she brought into our lives. While her physical presence may be gone, her spirit will endure in the hearts of her family and friends, guiding them through life's challenges and inspiring them to love fiercely and live boldly, just as she did. Rest in peace, dear Jill, your legacy of love and care will shine brightly in the memories we cherish forever.
