Vilda "Buddy" Bowen

Marie, Lester and the whole family - so sorry for your loss. We thought the world of Buddy. She was always so kind and gentle. And I remember as I was growing up, that she made the best chocolate chip cookies on the planet!

I am so very sorry for your loss.
Buddy and my mother were friends from Central Methodist. She kept an eye on my mom, and would often pick her up or drive her home from the early service at church even though my mother's house was only 2 blocks away. The cute thing was that my mom couldn't hear well, and got it stuck in her head to call her Bunny - and she was so sweet to never correct my Mom. I'm sure they're singing hymns together again now.
God bless your family as you travel...

Marie & Lester,
So sorry to hear of Aunt Buddy's passing. We know how heart wrenching it is. Mom's create all the happy times for holidays, birthdays, and parties.
Our memories of Aunt Buddy are happy ones, she had a great sense of humor.
We know how Dad appreciated her for their Sr. center lunches together.
She was the last of the Bowen's for that generation.
God Bless her
Love Jane & Carol Bowen

I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO WORK WITH BUDDY IN OWEGO, AND I SHALL TREASURE THE THINGS WE SHARED FOR MANY YEARS. SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS. SINCERELY, PAT KOCIK

Dear family, I was sad to learn of Vilda's passing. My grandmother (Verla Haight) and I used to visit and it was always a nice time. Such a gentle soul. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
