"Peach" Joan Marie Bower

"Peach" Joan Bower, 57, of Fishers, passed away on Sunday, October 30, 2016 at IU Health University Hospital in Indianapolis. She was born on March 30, 1959 to Joseph and Jeanette (Brouillette) Bower from Goodland, Indiana.
Peach received a Bachelor's in Accounting from Ball State, became a CPA and later received her MBA from Notre Dame, but in life, she majored in faith, family and friendship. Her greatest accomplishment was her undisputed title as "Coolest Aunt in the World." She had a servant's heart and a deep abiding faith and she lived out her faith through many ministries as a member of the St. Louis De Montfort Catholic Church. Her church family was a tremendous source of comfort and friendship to her. She enjoyed golfing, playing Euchre, serving as grill master and handing out beers.
She is survived by her brothers, John (AynnRae) Bower, Jim (Judy) Bower, and Jeff (Mary Duncan) Bower; sisters, Janice (Paul) Gootee, Julie Brown, Joyce (Rich) Smith, Jackie (Brent) Hofman, and Jennifer (Keith) Cheraso; as well as 24 nieces & nephews and a multitude of aunts, uncles and cousins. Peach was preceded in death by her parents and her brother-in-law, Ruskin Brown.
