Charlene Ann Bowers passed away
peacefully in her home July 15, 2019. She and her

in Mount Pulaski, the children of Frederick and
Louise (Rothwell) Hild. Charlene attended Lincoln
Bible Institute and Illinois Wesleyan University
majoring in Nursing. She married John Bowers of
Mount Pulaski in 1952. They had five children:
Rebecca Bailey and Jan Bowers of Lincoln, Philip

GA, and Meria who preceded her mother in death.

Shanle; and twin brother preceded her in death.
Charlene worked as a nurse for Dr. Arthur R.

particularly dogs. She was an avid Cubs fan, enjoyed
playing Bridge, Pinochle, taking blood pressures at
ALMH and the Oasis and baking pies for the Harvest
of Talents. She loved volunteering her services and
wanted always “to help people and make people
happy.” |
