Nona Bowes Memorial Fund

Nona Bowes passed away on October 7th. She died comfortably at home, surrounded by love, hand in hand with her children. She passed away as she'd wished, in her own bed at home and surrounded by the evidence of her lifetime of creativity and color.

Nona was a teacher and enjoyed sharing her passions with students. She taught at different universities and schools across the U.S. She was proud to have graduated with her Master’s Degree in Communications from Kent State University. 

Nona was a vigorous and creative spirit throughout the entirety of her life. She worked in a wide range of mediums including painting, drawing, gardening, cooking, furniture restoration, interior design, sewing, and jewelry design.

Nona had a special gift for opening her heart and her doors to friends both new and old. She was able to draw around her an eclectic group of warm hearted friends wherever she went. 

Nona’s core belief in the nature of kindness combined with her sincere gratitude for big and small things in everyday life were part of her effluent charm and poise. She has left this world a better place for her having been here, and she will be missed by those who knew her.

These funds will be used to help pay for the costs associated with end of life. Any funds remaining after the settling of her estate with be donated to The American Red Cross in  her name.
