January 27, 1965 - October 28, 2017

Donna Ray Bowman, age 52, of Alpena, passed away Saturday, October 28, 2017, at Cox South Medical Center in Springfield, Missouri. She was born January 27, 1965, in Conroe, Texas.

Donna was a loving wife, mother, and Nannie. She was a member of the Cowboy Church in Green Forrest and longtime resident of Alpena. She was known to have a contagious laugh and loved to smile. She married the love of her life, Keith Bowman, May 14, 1988, in Alpena, celebrating 29 years of marriage together. Donna worked 24 years at Harrison Wal-Mart, lastly as Claims Supervisor. She loved life, spoiling her grandbabies, and enjoyed riding the buggy with her Babe and being around family and friends.

Donna is survived by her loving husband, Keith Bowman, of the home; her sons and daughter-in-law, T. J. Moore and Ryan and Cheyanne Bowman, all of Alpena; three daughters and sons-in-law, Kayla Moore of Houston, Texas, Makita and Chad Williams of Alpena, and Heather and J. C. Nelson of Ola, Arkansas. She is also survived by her brother and sister-in-law, Marvin and Kathy Roberson, of Batavia; her father-in-law, Brian Bowman and his wife Debbie, of Omaha; her mother-in-law, Rose Anderson and her husband Charlie, of Omaha; five grandbabies, Erica Gail Moore, Winstyn and Haisyn Bowman, and Reagan and Ella Nelson; her nephew, Alec Roberson; her niece, Katelin Chambers; and far too many friends to name.


Memorial service was Wednesday, November 1, 2017, at Roller-Christeson Funeral Home, with Bobby Williams and Billy Williams officiating.


In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made in memory of Donna to the American Cancer Society, 901 N. University Avenue, Little Rock, AR 72207.

Donna was my friend, ally, bodyguard, and “work Mom.” She was always there for me, and even in her sickness, she would always ask me how I was doing. That’s who Donna was. Everyone else always came first to her. She is one of a kind and I will miss her desperately. My heart and prayers are with her family, and everyone else who will be missing her until we meet again.
