Loretta June Bowman
Loretta June Bowman, 65, of Greenville, passed away Wednesday, December
26, 2018 at Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center in Columbus,
Ohio.
She was born November 16, 1953, in Greenville to the late Gerald W.
Smith and Velma I. Boner.
In addition to her parents, Loretta was preceded in death by her
daughter, Christie Lynn Williams; her step-father, John Boner; her
step-mother, Charlotte Smith; her father-in-law, Gary Lee Bowman; and
her sister-in-law, Faye E. Heitkamp.
Loretta had a fun-loving spirit. In her youth, she loved to dance and
always had the "coolest" cars. She had a great love of animals
especially her dog Sunny, her cat Chloe, and her horse What-A-Dish.
Loretta was the hardest working person you have ever met. She worked at
Corning from 1976 until it closed in 2002, then for GTI from 2002 until
her passing, as a forklift operator for both employers.
Loretta, had a heart of gold and would do anything she could to help
someone in need. She always put others ahead of herself and was the
first person to call and make sure you were okay. She loved her family
and dedicated her entire life to enjoying them. Loretta was always
there and supported her nieces and nephews. She looked forward to
planning family vacations and absolutely adored her grandchildren. She
enjoyed playing board games with them and watching her favorite TV
show, The Young and The Restless. It is impossible to sum-up Loretta's
life in a couple of paragraphs, but if we had to try, she could be
described as amazing, strong, beautiful, and full of hugs and kisses.
Loretta is survived by her husband, Wayne A. Bowman, whom she married
September 18, 2000; her daughter, Krista (David Cunningham) Rehmert of
Smithfield, Virginia; her grandchildren, Xander, Owen, Ella,
Charlianne, and Aspen; her siblings, Beverly (Doug) Barnes, David (Pam
Obringer) Smith, Lauren (Wanda) Smith, Jody (Kevin) Hoblit all of
Greenville; her mother-in-law, Sandy Bowman; her sister-in- law,
Carolyn Bowman, and brother-in-law, Craig Bowman all of Greenville; her
aunt, Esther Reeser-Blankenship; and countless nieces, nephews and
friends.
A Celebration of Loretta's life will be held on Monday, December 31,
2018 at 7PM at Tribute Funeral Homes, Greenville Campus, with Rev. Eric
Fee officiating.
Family and friends may visit on Monday from 4PM until the time of the
service at the funeral home.
