Helen Bowman passed away peacefully on Thursday, April 30, 2026, at approximately 1:40 pm, surrounded by her loving family at the age of 81. Born on October 27, 1944, in Crawfordville, Georgia, she was the daughter of the late Henry and Sally Kendrick Stewart.

She married the love of her life, Edward "Spencer" Bowman and together they had seven children. She was a devoted mother, sister, and friend. She lived a life defined by love, faith, and a quiet strength. She worked for several years in the textile industry, but her greatest and most cherished role was that of a homemaker. She adored her children and welcomed every child that came to her home. Feeding others brought her extraordinary joy, and no one ever left her home hungry. She was quiet and shy person by nature but never met a stranger. Whether in the grocery store, department store, or hardware store, she found a way to connect with everyone she met. She was a very friendly person and her kindness and gentleness made her unforgettable.

Helen dedicated her life to Jehovah on June 18, 1988, and was never shy about sharing her faith with all who would listen. She found joy in all creation- especially flowers, plants, fruit trees, and animals. A gifted cook, she delighted in preparing meals and sharing them generously with family, friends, and neighbors.

She was deeply loved and will be sorely missed, but her memories we will cherish until the Bible's promise of a resurrection is a reality.

Helen was preceded in death by her parents and 14 siblings. She leaves to cherish her memories her husband Edward "Spencer" Bowman and children Charles (Gloria) Bowman, of Athens, GA, Peggy (Deleon) Carter of Crawfordville GA, Shirley (Willie) Bailey of Athens, GA, Randy Bowman of Greensboro, GA, Rachel (Doug) Jewell of Athens, GA, Tara (Uriah) Barnes of Thomson, GA and Edward Bowman Jr. (E.J.) of Lexington, GA.
