JUANITA FAYE BOWMAN

Funeral services for Juanita Faye Bowman, 77, of Konawa, Oklahoma were held at 11:00 a.m., Tuesday November 28, 2006 at the Sowers Memorial Chapel, Tuttle.

Juanita Faye Bowman was born June 6, 1929 to Charley McKinney and Zoie McConnell McKinney and died November 25, 2006 in Konowa.

Juanita completed 11-1/2 years of school at Bridgecreek leaving to get married to Raymond Surber, a Tuttle rancher with two children, Frank Surber and Donna Baker. They had four children of their own, Deanna Fields, Betty Gregory, Carmen Pittenridge and John who prefers to be called Bud. Juanita helped with the ranch, raised a garden, cooked and sewed clothes for her and the children. She belonged to the Tuttle Extension Homemakers Club. She moved to Oklahoma City with her four children after their divorced and began working as a secretary and bookkeeper. She also worked for Unit Parts building automobile brake shoes and then was hired on at Tinker Air Force Base in the Oxygen Regulator Unit. February 14, 1976 she married John Bowman, a semi-truck driver, left Tinker and obtained her license as one of the first women truck drivers in Oklahoma. They traveled coast to coast and to Canada and the Mexican border. Once while picking up a load in New York, John promised her they would go to Niagra Falls. The freight happened to be explosives which were banned from the area, but they got close enough to see the falls anyway.

She and John retired from trucking and moved to Arizona where they became active in VFW post at Bause. Juanita was a life member of the Lady’s Auxiliary. Most of her adult life everyone called her “Mama”.

Juanita was preceded in death by: Parents; one brother: Sammy McKinney; one sister: Geneiva McKinney; one grandson: Cody Gregory.

Survivors include: Husband: John Bowman; four daughters: Deanna Fields, Carmen Pittenridge, Betty Gregory, and Donna Barker; two sons: Frank Surber and Bud Surber; two stepchildren: Laura Bowman and Jeff Bowman; one brother: Raymond McKinney; one sister: Jessie Daniel; 19 grandchildren; 12 great grandchildren and five great great grandchildren.

Those are the statistics of Juanita Bowman, but we are here to celebrate her life. You are here today because she had an impact on your life either personally or through her children or husband. She had a strong spirit like the pioneer women who settled this country. She was optimistic and resourceful always happy to make do with whatever she had. She loved people and accepted everyone and was generous and willing to give you the shirt off her back without a thought for herself. Her glass was always half full, never half empty. Her beautiful red hair confirmed her spunky nature and willingness to try most anything as long as it had nothing to do with water; although, she did try water skiing with her brothers once in her thirties.

We are all richer people today because of the love she gave us.

Interment was in the Fairview Cemetery, Tuttle, under the direction of Sevier Funeral Home of Tuttle.
