Connie Bowman

Connie Sue Bowman, 71, completed her earthly journey at home surrounded by her loved ones Thursday, May 23rd.

She was born in Troy, Ohio in 1952 to William and Marcella Grooms. She has three siblings: Bill, Bob, and Sherry.

She enjoyed the simple things in life. She missed being able to fish, read books, and work in her flower beds. She loved to collect antique jars, precious gem stones and especially rings. Most importantly she loved spending time with her family and pets. She never met a stranger, and genuinely enjoyed conversation.

She is survived by her husband of 32 years, Terry Bowman. Her Children: Richard Vatilla Jr., April and Ricky Jack, Selena and Ray Wilson, Amber and Kenneth Johnson, and Shawna Bowman. Grandchildren: Chelsey, Caitlin, Noah, Javier, Teagan, Madison, Kendal, Malix, and Sylis. Great Grandchildren: Analilia, Santiago, Brendalynn, Thiago, and Sienna.

" Memory is a way of holding on to the things you love, the things you are, and the things you never want to lose."

Your memory is a treasure to all that loved you.
