Heidi Bowlen Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Hamel-Lydon Chapel & Cremation Service of Massachusetts on Mar. 30, 2026.
Heidi B. (Yorston) Bowlen, 55, of Brockton, formerly of Quincy, passed away unexpectedly at her home on Sunday, March 15, 2026.

Heidi was born on June 26, 1970, in Holbrook. She was raised and educated in Quincy. She was a graduate of Quincy High School.

Heidi was the loving daughter of the late Robert L. Yorston and the late Marilyn R. (MacDonald) Yorston. She is the beloved "Baby" sister of Darlene MacDonald of Quincy. She was also the sister of the late Richard MacDonald, Donna Thorley, Marilyn Yorston and Kellie Yorston.

She was the devoted wife of the late Craig Bowlen. Heidi is the loving and devoted mother of Emalie Bowlen of Brockton and the late Brittany Bowlen.

She is the cherished Nana of Caleb, Gabriel, Brayden and Erin to whom she spoiled, and God forbid they could never have enough PJs in Nana's eyes.

She also leaves behind her aunts, nieces, nephews, cousins, in-laws and friends.

In the beginning of her career Heidi worked as a phlebotomist until becoming a home maker, mother and helped in raising her grandchildren. She was a TV buff and loved bingo and anything to do with gambling. She will be so deeply missed by those she leaves behind.

Upon her and the families wishes there will be no services.
