MONMOUTH - Joyce L. Bowman, 70, Monmouth, passed away at her home in Monmouth on Aug. 7, 2009, at 8:40 p.m. Joyce was born on March 7, 1939, in Monmouth and was the daughter of R. Lee and Nell L. Wallace McCullough.
She was raised in Monmouth and attended Monmouth schools and graduated from Monmouth High School. She was married to Richard A. Bowman on Dec. 2, 1966, in Hales Corner, Wis.
Joyce was a faithful member of West Side Presbyterian Church in Monmouth until it closed and she then joined First Lutheran Church of Monmouth and served it diligently for the remainder of her life.
A lifelong Monmouth resident, Joyce worked in the business community from 1957 until she retired in 2005, the majority of the time spent in family-owned shoe retail and wholesale operations throughout the Midwest.
Cherished by her husband Dick and a wonderful relative to all her family, her true calling came when she became a mother to Pam and Bill and then a grandmother to Michelle, Heather, Jacob and Dylan.
