Mary Bowman Obituary
Mary Lucele Bowman, passed away on March 23, 2026, in Lakeland, Florida. Born on December 31, 1932, in Fowlerville, Michigan, to the late Joseph Andrew Franks and Mary Lucele Brooklyn, Mary's life was a testament to the power of love and family.
Mary's journey through life was one marked by enduring love and companionship. She was married to her beloved husband, G. Bowman, for a remarkable 73 years, a union that was a source of strength and inspiration to all who knew them. Together, they shared countless memories and built a legacy of warmth and togetherness that will live on through their children, Phillip Bowman, Rhonda Bowman, Rene Yarbrough, Ramona Terrio, and Tommy Bowman.
Mary's love for her family was boundless. She was a cherished sister to Judy, a proud grandmother to eight grandchildren, and a doting great-grandmother to two great-grandchildren. Her presence was a comforting constant in their lives, and her guidance and affection helped shape the wonderful individuals they have become.
A woman of simple pleasures, Mary found joy in the everyday moments of life. She relished the time spent sitting on her porch, the tranquility of nature was a source of great happiness for her, and she often enjoyed chit-chatting with her family and friends.
Mary and her husband shared a love for travel, with their trips to Daytona standing out as cherished adventures. These journeys were not just about the destination but about the shared experience, the laughter, and the companionship that made each trip unforgettable.
As we bid farewell to Mary Lucele Bowman, we do so with hearts full of gratitude for the time we were blessed to share with her. Her memory will be cherished, her stories retold, and her love felt always. Mary's life was a beautiful reflection of the love she gave so freely, and she will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
