Nicole Bowen Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Jul. 28 to Jul. 30, 2023.
Nicole (Nichole) Marie Bowen, 35, of Hot Springs, AR, departed this life on Monday, July 24, 2023, after a long battle with cancer. She was surrounded by family in her last moments. The family would like to thank the nursing staff at CHI St. Vincent's in Hot Springs for their skilled care, especially over the last week.

She was born March 23, 1988 in Visalia, California, to James "Jimbo" Bowen and Gayleen Faulkner Baxter. Early in childhood, her family (parents, three siblings, aunt, uncle, and two cousins) moved to Arkansas to join her father's side of the family. She grew up like most 90's babies: hanging out with friends and cousins at each other's houses until bedtime. Her family later moved to Malvern, AR, where she attended Malvern High School and had her first two sons, Tyler and Jacob.

Nicole was as full of life as the sunflowers she loved. She was rarely alone, preferring the company of family and friends. She played softball on a team with her dad and sister.

Nicole was preceded in death by her grandfather, Preston Bowen, grandmother Susie Faulkner, and aunt Joann Van-Dyke. She is survived by her parents; partner Johnathan Werst; children Tyler, Jacob, Brayden, and Annabella; sister Katelyn Ciera (Cody Chavez) Bowen; brothers Kevin and Zachary; along with many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends.

A memorial will be held September 2 at Grace Apostolic Church in Hot Springs. In lieu of flowers, memorials can be made to Nichole's Grace on GoFundMe, to support the family with medical expenses and memorial planning.
