Deborah Kay Bowman, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, passed away on February 4, 2026. Born on April 26, 1951, in Jonesboro, Louisiana, Deborah was a beacon of love and care who touched the hearts of all who knew her.
Throughout her life, Deborah built a diverse career, working primarily as a massage therapist and truck driver, a reflection of both her nurturing spirit and strong work ethic. She had a remarkable ability to make others feel comfortable, cared for, and valued wherever she went.
Deborah found joy in the simple beauty of nature. She loved birds, admired the vibrant colors of flowers, and surrounded herself with the wonders of the outdoors. Her generous heart and gentle presence made her a cherished friend to many and a treasured matriarch within her family.
She is survived by her devoted husband, Mike Bowman; her cherished children, Robin Bullard and Amanda Lyons; and her adoring grandchildren, Colton Lyons and Cecelia Lyons. Deborah also leaves behind her loving mother, Margie Weeks; her siblings, Shelley Gunn, Mark Weeks, and Danny Weeks; and many extended family members and dear friends. She was preceded in death by her father, Douglas Weeks, and her brother, Tim Weeks. Each of these relationships helped shape the person she became, leaving a legacy of love that will continue to live on in the hearts of those who knew her.
Those who knew Deborah will remember her kindness, her dedication, and the lasting impact she made on every life she touched. Her memory will live on in the love she shared and the many moments treasured by her family and friends.
A memorial service honoring her life will be held at Midtowne Church in Benton, Arkansas, on Wednesday, the 11th, 2026, at 12:00 PM.
