Gloria J. Bowers

December 2, 1948 — August 23, 2024

Gloria J. Bowers, loving wife, mother, and grandmother, passed away peacefully and surrounded by family on Friday, August 23rd, 2024. She took on the challenge of esophageal cancer the same way she approached life's obstacles; with grace, beauty, and determination. She is survived by her loving husband, Bill Bowers, in which they were happily married for 56 years. She is survived by her son, Buddy Bowers, who also accompanied Bill at Gloria's bedside and fulfilled every need during her battle. In months remaining prior to her passing, she was surrounded with love and care from her daughter-in-law, Erena, her grandson Brock and his girlfriend Machaela, as well as her grandson Billy and granddaughter-in-law Addi. She is joined in her Heavenly home now with her daughter, Kristy, as well as Gloria's mother, Lucille. Gloria went to visit "Mom and Pop's," you would always leave with a full stomach and a smile. She loved to entertain and ensure that any occasion in her presence would be one to remember. She will be remembered in the hearts of her family and dear friends of the impact she has made on each of them. A visitation will be on Wednesday, August 28, 2024 from 1:00 PM until 2:00 PM at Jefferson Memorial Funeral Home with a Chapel service to follow to celebrate the woman who never quit.
