In Loving Memory of Brenda Bowers

Brenda Bowers, a beloved wife, devoted mother, and cherished grandmother, passed away after a battle with cancer, surrounded by love and family. She leaves behind a legacy of warmth, wisdom, and unwavering devotion to those she held dear.

Brenda was the heart of her family, giving her undivided attention and unconditional love to her five beautiful grandchildren-Grant, Brady, Preston, Bennett, and Breslyn-who were the light of her life. Her presence was a constant source of comfort, joy, and encouragement, and she made each grandchild feel uniquely special.

She is survived by her loving husband of fifty-five years, Richard; her daughter, Melissa; her son, Michael, and her daughter-in-law, Brooke. Brenda's family was her greatest joy, and she poured her heart into every moment spent with them.

A passionate educator, Brenda spent her career inspiring young minds as a middle school teacher of geography and English. Her love for learning and her ability to connect with students left a lasting impact on countless lives.

Brenda embraced life with enthusiasm and grace. She loved to travel and explore the world, dance with joy, play golf with friends, and spend evenings playing cards surrounded by laughter. Her home was always open, filled with warmth, and alive with the energy of family and friends.

Brenda's deep faith in God was the foundation of her life. She lived with purpose, compassion, and gratitude, always guided by her spiritual strength.

She will be deeply missed, but her spirit will live on in the lives she touched and the memories she created. Brenda Bowers was truly one of a kind-a soul whose love will continue to shine through her family and all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Friends and family are welcome to gather Sunday, September 14, 2025 from 1-7PM at A.J. Desmond & Sons Funeral Home, 2600 Crooks Road (between Maple & Big Beaver), Troy, (248) 362-2500.
