Joyce A. Bowman was born on August 30, 1952 in Carthage, Texas to parents Oscar and Merlene Williams. She was a long time resident of Colorado Springs, moving here in 1978. 1968 was the start of a new view on life; it was a ‘Celebration of Life’ that began when she met Jimmy Bowman. They married on April 13, 1971, where they traveled to many countries all over the world. One of her favorites included Guam. It was through these travels that she experienced the true beauty of life.
Joyce is survived by her husband Jimmy, son Christopher and daughter-in-law Bernadette Bowman, grandchildren Tre and Esperanza, sister Stephanie (Wayne) Williams-Ewens, aunts Jessie and Altha, son-in-laws John Romero and Angel Rael, her mother-in-law Orlinda Rael. She was preceded by her parents, a grandson Dante and by her uncle’s.
A Celebration of Life will be held in the Peterson Air Force Base Chapel at 11:00 am, Wednesday, March 17, 2010 with a reception to follow at the Officers Club.
