Tonya Bowling, 61, of Fairfield, Ohio, passed away on March 26, 2026. Born December 6, 1964, she lived her entire life in Fairfield. A trailblazing pipe fitter and the only woman in her graduating class, she worked for Local 392 and spent nearly 30 years at Ford Motor Company. She was one of the most determined, hardworking people you could ever meet — genuine and kind-hearted, she spent her life helping others, even when they took advantage of her kindness.
She is preceded in death by her son, William Brandon Bowman, and is survived by her daughter Roxsand Bowman, her son Carl Napier, and her granddaughter Sylia Rose Catherine Blessing. She will be greatly missed by all of her friends, family members, and the people she worked with at Ford.
A Celebration of Life service will be held at the convenience of the family.
