Billy Bowles Obituary
Billy Joe Bowles, 68, of Jumping Branch went home to be with the Lord, Wednesday, December 28, 2022 at the Bower’s Hospice House following a long illness.
Born January 7, 1954 in Hinton, he was a son of the late Wendell Allen and Lillie Jane Bowles.
Besides his parents he is preceded in death by his grandparents, Joseph Green and Gertha Belle Williams and four brothers, Douglas Allen, Thomas Dale, James Dale “J.D.”, and James Robert Bowles.
Billy Joe was known for his avid love of Elvis, bicycle riding, wrestling and playing “the masked man”. He was a hard worker and you could find him most of the time at Angell’s Grocery taking care of odd jobs for Sue and Zina Angell. Billy Joe was a former member of the J.B.-Nimitz Volunteer Fire Dept. where he loved to help serve his community and take part in all the activities he could.
Those left to cherish his memory include his sister, Lillie Marie Cadle of Princeton, several nieces and nephews and long time friend Sue Angell.
