Joan Marie Bowen passed away peacefully on June 15, 2022, surrounded by her loving family, in her Glendora home of 61 years. She was 89 years old.
Joan was born on March 12, 1933, to Lisle and Peg Sheedy. She and her younger brothers, Jim and Bill, were raised in Corning, New York. She attended Northside High School in Corning, before graduating as a registered nurse from The Sisters of Charity Hospital in Buffalo, New York. She received her bachelor’s degree in nursing from St. Louis University in St. Louis, Missouri. It was there that she met a young dental student named Warren Bowen. The rest, as they say, is history. Joan and Warren were married on July 7, 1956, in her hometown.
After several years in Austin, Texas, where Warren served in the United States Air Force, Joan and Warren settled in Glendora, California in 1961, to raise their family of nine children. They were among the early families at St.
Joan was an avid sports fan. She loved her Los Angeles Dodgers and Notre Dame football, and she attended countless sporting events for her children and grandchildren.
Joan is survived by her nine children, her sons- and daughters-in-law, 21 grandchildren and their families, including her first two great-grandchildren, due later this year, her brother, Bill, two sisters-in-law, and numerous nieces and nephews.
