Mrs. Bowen was born on April 20, 1927, in Hazelhurst, Ga. She attended schools in the West Palm Beach, Fla., area.

Her father, Merrice Alonzo “Lonnie” Yearty; mother, Pearl Lucille (Tompkins) Yearty; and two sons, Vernon Charles Bowen and Bert Eugene Bowen also preceded her in death.

Christine is survived by her daughter, Wanda Eileen Purvis (Hughey) and son, Ralph Merrice Bowen (Barbara); seven grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren; only sister, Marion (Yearty) Dawson and children, David and Connie.

Christine truly loved the Lord. She was very proud of her family and dearly loved them all.
