Evansville - Doris M. Bowler, 89, passed away on August 18, 2020 at the home of her son in Evansville. She was born on November 2, 1930 to John and Florence Carl in Lawrence County, Illinois.
Doris graduated high school in 1947 and married Bud O. Bowler on May 29, 1948. Doris retired from General Electric, Mt. Vernon after 20 years. After retirement, she was able to take many trips and enjoyed travelling; especially to Arizona and Alaska. She and Bud especially enjoyed a safari in Kenya. Doris was an avid reader, enjoyed crossword and word puzzles, and playing cards.

Really going to miss our long talks. Sometimes I think she was a little surprised about things I said or done but she loved me anyway. She was my favorite! She’s missed Uncle Bud so much. Now they can dance together again. Love you, Aunt Doris ❤

I worked with Doris for many years at GE. Strange thing before I saw her obit, I was thinking about a motorcycle trip to Bull's Island Rock Concert that we all took. You have my deepest sympathy. She was funny and I enjoyed working with her.
