Janet Irene Bowman

Janet was born as the eldest child to Thomas and Irene Coleman on January 29, 1943 and passed in peace on Monday, October 18, 2021. She married Gary Bowman on February 20, 1965, and was a loving mother to Todd, Cyndy, Glenn and Cathy.  She also adored her grandchildren Annika, Bryony, Nathan and Carson.

Janet trained as a registered nurse and provided compassionate care for more than 30 years.

She will be fondly remembered by her family as compassionate and strong; known to watch birds and Days of Our Lives; sheep whispering in her younger days and cat raising in her older years. If you needed to find her, the woods was a good guess-either on cross country skis or on foot watching for all creatures.  If you had the pleasure of enjoying a cup of coffee with her, you know she always used the cup as a cheek warmer.  Her beautiful handwriting always turned into a doodle-maybe a piece of paper or envelop, maybe a napkin. She had an affinity for great shoes, a good read and a glass of Kir.  She especially loved growing flowers, traveling west and going for car rides with Gary.

The staff at the Mahn Family Funeral Home extends their appreciation to the Bowman family for their trust.

Services will be held on Friday, October 29, 2021, at the Mahn Larson Funeral Chapel in Zumbrota.  Visitation will begin at 10:00 AM, with a Celebration Of Life service starting at 11:00. Burial will be at the Zumbrota Cemetery. Please join us.
