Donate to help Ilene Gowan’s funeral expenses
Donation protected
February 13th, 2023 was the last time anyone has seen or heard from Ilene. She was last seen on camera leaving the bar she worked at in Council Bluffs, IA. On February 14th she was reported missing to the CBPD and they started a missing person investigation. On Sunday, February 26th Ilene’s body was found deceased outside of Council Bluffs city limits. The children are devastated by the tragic passing of their mother. This loss is very unexpected and the kids were not prepared for after-life expenses, and Ilene, unfortunately, didn’t have any life insurance. This is a very tragic event that they would have never expected to happen to their mother. To relieve some of the stress, we are asking for donations towards cremation and funeral expenses. Anything is greatly appreciated. We understand that not everyone can donate, but sharing this and your kind words is very much appreciated as well. The service is set for March 11, 2023. We will collect donations until then. Thank you all for your support.
