Linda Gean Winters-Bowman, age 66, of West Paducah, Kentucky departed this
life peacefully at home on Sunday, November 21, 2021.
Linda was born in Chicago, Illinois on June 15, 1955 to the late Billy
Coleman and Patsy Gean White-Winters. She grew up in Jonesboro, Arkansas
where she graduated from high school. Linda met the love of her life,
Gary Bowman of Paris Illinois, in 1985. They later married and were
blessed with a daughter, Katherine “Katie” Rosetta Bowman born on
September 29, 1991. Throughout Linda’s life, she worked many different
jobs from a pet store attendant, to bartender, to dispatcher for a
trucking company. Most recently she was a Caesars Rewards Representative
for Harrah’s Casino in Metropolis, IL. But the title that gave her
greatest joy was “mom”.
Linda was an avid animal lover, enjoyed cross-stitch and cooking –
especially her famous enchiladas. Those blessed to know Linda, know that
her presence filled the room. She was a kid-at-heart who was outgoing,
always sassy and never without her Diet-Pepsi! She will be remembered as a
devoted mother, grandmother, and aunt.
Linda is survived by her husband of 30 years, Gary Joseph Bowman; two
sisters, Teresa Vaughn & April Dawn Winters both of Arkansas; one brother,
Vernon Ray Lee Winters of Arkansas; and one grandson, Bruce Wayne Weldy of
Paducah, KY.
She is preceded in death by her daughter, Katherine Bowman; grandson,
Parker Weldy; her parents; one sister, Brenda Gale Suttles; and two
brothers, Billy Wayne Winters and Jessie Coleman Winters.
Funeral services will be held at 3:00 pm on Friday, November 26, 2021 at
Milner & Orr Funeral Home of Paducah with Rev. Bob Martin officiating.
Visitation will be held from 1:00 pm until the 3:00 pm service time at
Milner & Orr Funeral Home of Paducah.
In honor of Linda’s love for all things furry, feathered, and scaled,
expressions of sympathy may take the form of donation to: McCracken County
Humane Society, 4000 Coleman Rd, Paducah, KY 42001.
