Barbara Bowman Obituary
She was lovingly greeted in Heaven by her mother, Priscilla, her infant son, Andrew Lee Bowman, and many of her favorite aunts, uncles, and cousins.
Barbara is survived by her devoted husband of 41 years, Jay D. Bowman; her two daughters, Kelsey and Lindsey; sister Shari (Gary) Blum; and her nieces and nephews.
A proud graduate of the St. Clairsville High School Class of 1976; she worked at East Ohio Regional hospital before beginning her long and meaningful career at School of Hope in St. Clairsville. She was also a member of St. Paul Lutheran Church in Bridgeport, Ohio. Barbara was an avid Disney fan whose greatest joy was spending time with her husband and daughters.
Her kindness and light will forever be missed by all who knew and loved her. Her legacy lives on in the countless lives she touched, especially in the hearts of her family.
We invite you to join us in honoring Barbara's life by making a donation to Inheritance Of Hope in lieu of flowers. Your contribution will make a meaningful difference in the lives of young families facing the loss of a parent, carrying on Barbara's legacy of compassion and love.
