Sharon Bowen

On September 1, 2019, Sharon Bowen (Ussery) passed away suddenly at Riverside Methodist Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. Sharon was born on March 12, 1959 in Springfield, Ohio to Jeannete Ussery (Lyle) and the late Robert Ussery of Columbus, Ohio. Her strong Catholic faith and devotion to our Lord enabled her to develop personal traits such as a love for her fellow beings and an abundance of energy, humor, and wisdom that she exhibited while in the service of others. She could energize a room quickly with her laughter, insight, and bright smile. She was constantly helping friends and family members, in particular the youngsters in her life. She was a graduate of Westland High School and Ohio State University with a degree in Business Administration. She and her husband, Ken Bowen, developed together a thriving Home Inspection business. Sharon is preceded in death by Jaime Trimmer. She is survived by her loving husband Ken Bowen, her mother Jeannette Ussery, her sisters Carol Trimmer, Mary (Rob) Critchfield, her brother Greg Ussery, nephews Justin and Jared Trimmer, nieces Nicole, Cassady and Alasia Critchfield, step children Andrea, Randy, Russell, and grandchildren Carlin, Finn, Andrew, Jessica, Hannah, and Emily. Although she never had children of her own, her greatest passion was sharing her love, knowledge, humor, and treats to her nieces, nephews and to her six beautiful grandchildren. All of these children knew that she was a loving grandmother who would never say no to a reasonable request. She was the type of person who would go out of her way to make one feel comfortable and well fed. She was a fantastic cook and a well-organized diligent business woman who shared her love with her husband and family. Her love of animals, nature and all of God's splendor was a very important part of her life. She and her husband Ken enjoyed traveling the oceans of the world together and frequently would invite other family members and friends to join them in their journeys around the globe. The funeral will be held Monday, September 9, 2019 in the Chapel at Resurrection Cemetery, 9571 North High Street, Lewis Center, Ohio 433035. Interment will follow at Resurrection Cemetery.
