Kathleen Marie Bowen

Kathleen Marie Bowen, 98, of Fishers, passed away on Sunday, November 11, 2018.  As a mature Christian she did not fear death.  She was actually looking forward to "going home", and had expressed to her three sons, (John, Danny and Carl) that even as much as she loved them, she loved Jesus more and was ready to go to her "Heavenly Home". Her husband of almost 71 years preceded her in death March 30, 2010. 
Kathleen (Kathy) was born to Claude and Dorothy (Seekins) Hinshaw August 10, 1920 and was baptized into Christ while still a teenager.  She married Jasper Fred Bowen May 23, 1939, and became the perfect helpmate to him raising three sons (John, Danny and Carl) on a farm 3-1/2 miles east of what was then the small town of Fishers.  In 1963, the family moved to a new home in Fishers at 116th Street and Lynn Avenue. Kathy was an artist, taught art classes, and blessed many people with her landscape paintings. Upon moving to Fishers from the farm, Kathy became an active member in what was then known as Cumberland Pike Church of Christ (Christian Church), and later at the age of 95 helped launch Christ's Church North while living with her middle son, Danny R. Bowen and his wife, Leslie at their home near Pleasant View southeast of Indianapolis.
Survivors include three sons, 10 grandchildren, 33 great-grandchildren, three great-great-grandchildren and several nieces and nephews.
Services will be held at 11:00 am on Friday, November 16, 2018 at Randall & Roberts Fishers Mortuary, 12010 Allisonville Road in Fishers, with visitation beginning at 10:00 am until the time of service.  Burial will be at Oaklawn Memorial Gardens in Indianapolis immediately thereafter.
Memorial contributions may be made to Christ's Church North, 9625 East 150th Street, Noblesville, IN 46060; or Christian Mission of South lndia, a foreign mission Kathy supported to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ to the lost.
