Beverly June (King)
Bowman
Beverly June (King) Bowman entered this life October 30, 1936 and
returned to her Creator September 26, 2018.
She was the daughter of Rufus and Zaida (Boone) King. Beverly
grew up in Darke County, Ohio, the fourth child of a loving family of
nine children.
Recognizing her need of a Savior, she was baptized into Christ and
received into the Old German Baptist Brethren Church at the age of 21,
where she served faithfully until her death.
On September 12, 1959 she was united in marriage to B. Calvin Bowman,
beginning 59 years of a joyful Christian marriage. Beverly supported
and labored with her husband as he was called into the ministry at a
young age, serving with him in the Palestine district for 54 years.
Two sons and one daughter blessed their home: Dwayne, Philip, and
Linda. Beverly was a happy homemaker and wife. Her children
cherish fond memories of an energetic, loving mother. She enjoyed being
with people and especially delighted in traveling. They took many
memorable trips as a family and she and Calvin continued to travel
after the children were grown.
Mother’s health declined slowly but steadily over the past 15 years.
She was eventually diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease and became
increasingly disabled. She has been blessed to remain at home, being
cared for by family, friends, and the tireless, devoted care of her
loving husband.
Beverly is survived by her husband; her children, Dwayne and Sherri
Bowman, Philip and Janell Bowman, and Linda and Howard Hess; 19
grandchildren; 25 great grandchildren; 2 sisters, Marlene and
Charles Brumbaugh, Connie and Marlin Bowman; 2 brothers, Ronald King,
and Rufus and Penny King; in-laws, Marcella King, Ralph and
Phyllis Brunk, Odell Bowman, Leroy Holsinger, Louise Beachler, Berlin
and Laquita Bowman, Dean and Martha Bowman; and a host of nephews and
nieces.
She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband’s parents;
brothers, Paul and Ralston; sisters, Mary Brunk and Marjorie Holsinger;
sister in law, Joanna Bowman; grandsons, Ezekiel Bowman, Nicholas Hess;
and great-granddaughter, Rael Graybill.
Answering Mother’s prayers, God gave her a peaceful hour for passing.
At 1:26 AM, with her husband and children around her, she exchanged
this life for LIFE eternal. As we commend her to God, we are left with
sweet memories and a Bright Hope!
