Beverly Ann Bowman

Beverly Ann Bowman, 85, of Minocqua, WI, passed peacefully onto eternal life on Wednesday, May 5, 2021, at Lakeshore Assisted Living Facility in Lac du Flambeau, WI. Beverly was born March 22, 1936, in Park Falls, WI, the daughter of Edward C. and Ann (nee Mader) Houck. She was a member of St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church in Lac du Flambeau for over 60 years. Her faith was very important to her. Beverly married her devoted husband and partner, Raymond (Bud) Bowman on June 18, 1955, and they celebrated 61 wonderful years together. He preceded her in death on February 11, 2017. Bud and Bev worked the majority of their lives, first with Bud’s father and brother as partners, and later becoming the owners of Island City Dray, Inc. Bev was a kind individual with a friendly smile, and one who could strike up conversation with most anyone. She enjoyed the opportunities to spend time with her family, and seldom missed an event or special occasion involving a grandchild. Beverly is survived by a sister, Janet Hutchinson, of Park Falls. Also survived by three children; James Raymond (Beverly) Bowman of Harshaw, Jo Ann Wenzlick of Minocqua, Mark Patrick (Elizabeth) Bowman of Minocqua. Further survived by seven grandchildren; Benjamin (Jenna) Bowman, Brian Bowman, Angela Bowman, Matthew (Julianne) Wenzlick, David Wenzlick, Callista Bowman, and Gabriel Bowman, and six great-grandchildren: Lila, Tristan, Elliot, Harper, Oliver, and Dani, as well as many other nieces and nephews. She was also predeceased by her parents, and her brothers William, James, and Ronald Houck. The family expresses our sincere appreciation to all friends, neighbors, customers, caregivers, and acquaintances of Bev, as well as the staff at Lakeshore Assisted Living for your kindness, support, friendship and care which has been extended to our entire family. God bless each of you.
