Lois Jean Bowling's Obituary
Lois "Jean" Jessie Bowling went to be with the Lord, September 12, 2016. She was born July 15, 1934, in Garvin, Oklahoma, to her father, Jack Jessie, and her mother, Elizabeth Lewis Jessie. She was born the eighth of nine children, with siblings, twin sisters Leona and Neoma, Marie, Helen, Jack, Auther, Raymond, and Joe. She loved her family and family events, especially the Jessie family reunion in Oklahoma that has lasted almost than fifty years and continues to this day. She loved her dogs, gardening, playing games, especially Canasta, and recently watching Jose Altuve and the Houston Astros.
Jean attended Wright City High School, in Wright City, Oklahoma. She played on the basketball team and loved to dance. While still in high school, Jean married her husband of sixty-five years, Johnny Bowling, on November 18, 1950, at sixteen years old. While her husband, Johnny, was serving in the United States Army, Jean continued her education and graduated from high school in 1953.
Jean and Johnny moved to Houston, Texas, in 1954 and had two children, a daughter, Sharon Jean (Sherry) and a son, John Lewis. Jean was primarily a stay-at-home wife and mother until her children graduated high school and then worked a couple of jobs as a secretary. She retired from Faith Manufacturing in 1990, where she worked as a secretary, in order to move to "The Country" in Jewett, Texas, where Jean and Johnny resided the past twenty-six years.
Jean was a believer in Jesus Christ, accepting Him as Lord and Savior in 1984. After Sherry, her daughter, shared with Jean the love of Jesus, they held hands at her kitchen table and prayed to receive Christ. Jean soon afterward was baptized at Community Baptist Church, Crosby, Texas, by Pastor Rodney Weatherly.
Jean is preceded in death by her parents, Jack Jessie and Elizabeth Jessie, and sisters Neoma Ives, Leona Tidwell, Marie Sullivan, Helen Haan, brothers Jack Jessie, Auther Jessie, and Raymond Jessie.
