In life Sue Bowman was an inspiration to not only the family but all of those who were blessed with the opportunity to know her. We know that all stars that shine the brightest are the first to burn out and she was taken in the midday of her life.

We know that we were blessed with a gift that God has given freely and in her absence she will be sorely missed.

Her living brothers are Michael O. Martin, Daniel R. Martin. She is the wife of Bradley J. Bowman and mother of Sean, Arthur, Scott, Shellee, Steffanie and Sierra. Grandmother of Robert, Shane, Daniel, Ashley, Brittanee, Jeffrey and Brylee.

Sue Bowman was preceded in death by her parents; Bobby J. Hudson and Verle E. Hudson and parents-in-law; John E. Bowman and Elaine Bowman. She is also preceded in death by her younger brother David Martin.

Memorial services are at 11 a.m. on Dec. 29, 2011, at Our Savior Lutheran Church, 1212 Washington Blvd ,Alamogordo, NM,88310.

The Bowman family has entrusted their loved one to the care of PCS where cremation has taken place.
