Paula Bowman Obituary

Paula Ann Bowman

July 11, 1963 - October 24, 2021

Paula Ann Bowman, beloved mother, sister, aunt, and friend, died Sunday, October 24, 2021, of complications from Covid.

Paula was born July 11, 1963, in Twin Falls, Idaho to Paul R. (Jeep) and Carolyn Bowman. She was the twin sister of Paul R. Bowman, Jr. She lived in Kimberly and Twin Falls most of her life, minus a few years when she lived in Oregon.

Paula attended schools in Kimberly, Idaho. While her life was not one filled with frills, Paula made the most of every situation that life handed her. She had a near-death experience in 2002, that changed her and her outlook on life forever. She had such an incredible story and was a beacon of light that shone on everyone who was a part of her life.

Paula never forgot the ones she loved. It didn't matter what the day was, She Would Always Give The Most Heartfelt Cards That Expressed Her true love for you. Sometimes she would give you two or three, just to make sure you knew how she felt and how much she loved you.

Paula loved to road trip with her companion, Todd. Most recently, their travels took them cross country and to Texas. She so cherished this trip. She loved fishing, concerts, races, and going to Jackpot on Sundays. Paula was a very giving person and while she didn't have much, She Would Give What She Had.

Paula Is Survived By Her Lifelong Companion, Todd Brix. Her Children: Jonathan Bowman (Amanda), Dustin Bowman (Rashelle Ostermiller), And Ashley Newton (Darren Depriest). Bonus Children Charles Brix (Erika), May Whitney (William), Her Twin Brother, Paul R. Bowman, Jr., and older Sister, Elaine K. Bowman. Additionally, she Llaves behind 16 grandchildren, one great-grandchild, numerous nieces and nephews (who adored her), and Aunts and Uncles and cousins who prayed for her recovery.

Paula was preceded in death by her grandparents, both parents, oldest brother, and sadly, her youngest daughter Melisa.

A Celebration of Paula's life will be held, Monday, November 1, 2021, at 4:00 p.m. at Parke's Magic Valley Funeral Home & Crematory 2551 Kimberly Road, Twin Falls, Idaho.
