Wilma Bowen

Wilma Janell Bowen, age 87, of Canton, GA, left this earthly realm on

Sunday, January 14, 2024 after a long battle with COPD and Congestive

Heart Failure.

It would be wrong to say that Janell lost her battle because she never

stopped fighting. No matter how sick she was, she was always determined.

When anyone else would have broken, Janell stayed strong. Through her,

we know what resilience and perseverance truly look like.

Janell was born in Sargent, GA. She retired from the GA Dept of Revenue,

Motor Vehicle Tax Division in 2001. However, her husband and children

made up the entirety of her world. She participated in many Veterans’

organizations and was a life-time member of the VFW Women’s Auxiliary.

Funeral services are scheduled for 4:00 PM on Wednesday, January 24,

2024, from the Chapel of South Canton Funeral Home with Rev. Ken May

officiating. Interment will follow in the Georgia National Cemetery on

Thursday, January 25, 2024, at 11:00 AM.

The family will receive friends from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM, Tuesday, January

23, 2024, and from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM, Wednesday, January 24, 2024 at
