Judith BOWMAN Obituary

BOWMAN, Judith Ann

Judith Ann Bowman, aged 83, of Wilmore, KY, passed away peacefully on August 15th, surrounded by her family, and loved ones.

She was a schoolteacher for Preble Shawnee for 20 years, until she retired and moved to Florida. In Florida, she continued her passion for teaching as she helped underprivileged children with their reading skills.

She volunteered in nursing homes and provided care for many struggling families. She helped so many who were in need and even provided care for patients with dementia.

Judy will be dearly missed and always remembered. She loved to sing, attend church, dance and providing a helping hand to everyone that needed some help.

She is survived by her loving husband of 63 yrs., Terry L. Bowman and her four children; her daughter Elizabeth Joyce West; her son James C. Bowman and his wife Chona Bowman; her daughter Nancy Meehan and her husband Tim Meehan; her son Eric Bowman and his wife Theresa Bowman. She is also survived by her two brothers Jerry Kinsworthy, and Tom Kinsworthy and his wife Dianne Kinsworthy.

She will be remembered as always singing a song and cheering up all who was around. A larger-than-life woman who would not hesitate to provide and help those in need. An incredibly loving grandmother who would radiate warmth and joy anywhere she went. She was a woman who had many children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren and each child has a deep and personal connection to her that will last a lifetime.

She will be deeply missed by her family and all the students and children she helped in her lifetime. A faithful servant who has been called home. "This is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it."

Cards and flowers to be sent to: 130 Wesley Village, Wilmore, KY 40390. Donations can be sent to: BrightFocus Foundation, 22512 Gateway Center Dr., Clarksville, MD 20871. Celebration of life to be announced.

Like my father, Judy's brother Jerry, has said repeatedly, she was an amazing daughter, sister, wife, mother, aunt (my blessing), friend, teacher and the list goes on and on. An amazing woman in every way. She and her family occupy a large part of my heart. Much love to you all: Uncle Terry, Betsy, Jim, Nancy and Eric.

I have so many childhood memories with my grandparents out In west Elkton. I learned how to swim and made friends with all her students. We would always sing "Tomorrow" from the movie Annie. I even went to the play her students put on of Annie. I remember her smile and always in the kitchen singing. I love you grandma. You will be dearly missed.

I´m so sad to hear this. I have so many great memories. Mrs Bowman attended our church in West Elkton. We had pool parties at her house and then I was lucky to have her as a teacher in 6th grade. I can still recite the preamble to the constitution from her class. Prayers to everyone in the family.

I loved Mrs. Bowman!! She was a fabulous teacher and an exceptional woman. She saw me on leave from the Navy and asked me to come talk to her class, I did it because she was the one that asked. Sending positive thoughts and love to her family!!
