Herbert Bowman Obituary
He was born in Deming, N.M., to Fletcher C. Sr. and Mabel (Guyon) Bowman. He graduated from Deming High School in 1954. In 1958, Herb graduated from Colorado State University, following up with two years in the service, where he met his wife, Jenna (Morris). Herb taught in the Littleton Public Schools for 30 years.
After retirement, he went into the ministry, serving as the director of senior adult ministries at Littleton United Methodist Church. He reached out further into the Methodist conference, setting up ministries for senior adults. Herb was loved and greatly respected through this ministry.
Herb is survived by his wife of 49 years, Jenna, and his four children: David of Atlanta, Ga.; Susan (Chris) and Jim (Sandy) of Highland Ranch, Colo.; and a foster son, Brian (Heather) of Greely, Colo. Missing their "G-Daddy" are 10 grandchildren.
His siblings include Shanty (Mary) Bowman and Helen Wilcox of Deming; Clinton (Joy) of Denver City, Texas; and Frances Hinkle of Peoria, Ariz.
Herb was preceded in death by his parents and a brother-in-law, Johnnie V. Wilcox.
Herb's motto was: "One day at a time," and he used each day to the fullest.
A memorial service was held June 24. Gifts or remembrance may be made in Herb's name to: Senior Adult Ministries at Littleton United Methodist Church, 5894 S. Datura, Littleton, CO 80122 or Denver Urbin Ministries, www.Denum.org.

My condolences to the entire Bowman family. I grew up knowing all (or most of) the Bowmans and my parents were good friends and went to school with all also.
Blessings to you in this time of sorrow.
