Jean Bowyer

Jean Bowyer, age 90, passed away peacefully on January 5, 2026, surrounded by love. Born on July 23, 1935, Jean lived a life defined by strength, generosity, and deep devotion to those she loved.

Real estate was truly Jean’s passion. She built a long and respected career marked by dedication, sharp instinct, and pride in helping others. She took great pride in helping people, and her dedication to her work never wavered, remaining a meaningful part of her life until her final weeks.

Family was the heart of Jean’s world. She cherished time together and believed deeply in staying close. Her friends were equally important to her and were loved like family, bringing joy, laughter, and companionship throughout her life.

Jean embraced life fully. She loved the excitement of the casino and her slot machines, and at home she expressed love through food. She was always cooking and baking — her spaghetti and meatballs were legendary, and her baked goods were just as cherished.

A natural giver, Jean shared her time, wisdom, and love freely. She was the foundation of her family, a steady presence, and a safe place. She was cherished not only for all she did, but for who she was.

Jean was preceded in death by her husband, Jim Bowyer; her daughter, Sherri McDonald; and her son-in-law, Steve McDonald.

She is survived by her son, Dennis Boyer; her daughter, Terri (Onorato) Vitale; her grandchildren Paul Fidrus, Fara (Thad) Shelton, Sabrina Vitale, Jamie Fidrus, Vincenzo (Amy) Vitale, Floyd (Amanda Rogers) McDonald, Lily Boyer, and Grayson Boyer; her great-grandchildren Christopher, John, Savanna, Shelby, Thad, Jamison, Johnathan, and Arwen; and a loving aunt to Lisa, Gerry, Courtney, and Ian Francisco.

Jean will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered today, tomorrow, and always.
