Phyllis H. Bowman

Born March 8, 1931, in Clearfield, the daughter of Lester and Grace (Calhoun) Hall.

On December 12, 1952, she married Sgt. Maj. Willmer Allen Bowman and began their life adventure with their first move to the Marine Corp base in Quantico, VA. From there they routinely transferred to many new locations including a 3-year stint in Japan. All the while growing their family to include 3 boys and ultimately some 43 years later they moved back to where they began in Clearfield County, PA where they built their retirement home.

She was a loving wife and mother that spent the majority of her time as a homemaker for her family. While stationed at Camp Lejeune, NC she owned a horse and enjoyed riding and jumping English style.
