Beverly Bowsman Obituary

Beverly M. (Syndram) Bowsman, 91, of Decatur, Indiana died on January 25, 2026, at Adams Woodcrest Nursing home. Beverly was born December 11, 1934, in Fort Wayne, IN, to the late Robert and Opal (King) Syndram.

Beverly was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She was a devoted homemaker and wonderful cook. She had a deep love for fishing, whether casting a line at sunrise or sharing stories, fishing was a hobby she and her husband enjoyed. Her unwavering love of family will be remembered by all who knew her. She will be greatly missed and forever held in our hearts.

Beverly is survived by her granddaughter, Sarah Bowsman; great-grandson, David Bowsman; sisters, Connie Watters, Judy McBride and Cathy Kantorak; brothers, Bill and Tom Syndram; niece Cindy Kumpher and daughter-in-law, Teresa Bowsman.

Beverly was preceded in death by her husband, Ed Bowsman; son, Michael Bowsman and grandson, Joshua Bowsman. A memorial service and celebration of life will be held at a later date. Arrangements are entrusted to Haggard-Hirschy & Zelt Funeral Home.
