Margie Bowers Obituary

Margie Bowers, of Social Circle, passed away Tuesday, May 13, 2025, at the age of 91. Mrs. Bowers was a loving wife, devoted mother, and cherished member of the Oxford community. Family was always at the heart of her life, and she poured her generous spirit and unwavering love into every moment shared with them.

Together with her husband, she co-founded Bowers Fabrication Service, Inc., a successful business that stood as a testament to their hard work and partnership.

Mrs. Bowers enjoyed traveling and listening to all music - especially Elvis but mostly she enjoyed time with her family.

Mrs. Bowers leaves behind a legacy of love, service, and strength that will continue to inspire all who were blessed to know her.
