Jada Nowell
Jada Annette Nowell, 23, of Chattanooga went to be with her heavenly Father on Friday, September 1, 2023, surrounded by her loved ones.
She was born on June 22, 2000, to Arthur and Angela Nowell. After graduating from Tyner High School in 2018, Jada attended the University of Tennessee at Knoxville. Since a young age, Jada was a health and fitness enthusiast. She enjoyed helping other women feel and look good so much that she became an entrepreneur, creating Waistedbyrjw. If you knew her, one of her favorite places was the gym. Realjwells was a familiar platform on YouTube that Jada used to express her knowledge of various topics from God, fashion, beauty, and wellness as she was a blogger and influencer. Jada was also an ambassador for Styles Statement by Michael Janell. Modeling and posing for the camera came naturally to her. Family and people were ranked high on Jada’s list of priorities. Jada often assisted her grandmother in cooking and feeding the community. This was something she looked forward to while creating dishes that would put a smile on the faces of others around her. She was recently employed by ThyssenKrupp.
