Her mind was perpetually engaged with puzzles, each completed piece a testament to her sharp intellect. A keen eye for beauty led her to a delightful collection of crafts, each piece holding a story. Above all, her greatest joy was spending time with her beloved family, creating cherished memories that will now be treasured.

Patricia’s legacy lives on through her devoted son, Robert D. Bowman; her cherished grandchildren, Trent (Bowman) Freeman and Kenna Gonzales; and her loving nieces, Christine (Ballengee) Morris and Libby Ballengee, and nephew, Bryant Ballengee. She joins in eternal peace her brother, Bobbie Ballengee, and her dear son, Kenneth L. Bowman, who preceded her in death.
