Mary Ann Bowden

She was born March 4th, 1942 to Ike & Anna Pechacek in Blessing Texas.

On February 3, 1962 she married Keith Bowden at St. Mary’s Cathedral in Austin, Texas. They enjoyed 62 years of marriage, often referred by family as the perfect love story.

In 1972 they moved their three daughters to Taylor, Texas where they started Bowden’s Farm Supply. Later, she began her career at Johns Clinic which eventually became Scott & White Clinic.

Mary Ann’s greatest passion was her family. She had a special gift for making the people around her feel loved whether through a home cooked meal, a thoughtful homemade gift, or simply being there when someone needed her. As a couple they could always be found in the stands at sporting events or any other events the kids or grandkids participated in. Her legacy lives on in the many skills she taught her girls and later grandchildren.

Mary Ann was preceded in death by her husband, Keith Bowden and her parents Ike and Anna Pechacek. She is survived by her three daughters Teresa Schneider (Danny), Debbie Bowden (Beth) and Cindy Srnensky (Kelly); five grandchildren, Aaron Schneider (Stephenie), Staci Braden (Corey), Cameron Schneider (Morgan), Seth Srnensky (Kelsie) and Ryan Srnensky. She was also blessed with nine great-grandchildren.

We would like to thank everyone who supported ‘Ama’ and our family through her health journey.
