Kathy Davis Bowen

Kathy Davis Bowen, a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and friend, passed away on Monday, December 29th, 2025, at the age of 72. Kathy was born in Oxford, NC on February 25th, 1953, to the late Lawrence and Kathleen Hite Davis. She was preceded in death by her husband, Ronnie Ray Bowen.

Kathy found her calling as a bus driver and para-professional, where her nurturing spirit and patient demeanor touched the lives of countless children and their families over the years.

Outside of her passion for plants, Kathy’s greatest joy was her family. Her steadfast love for family defined her life, and she cherished every moment spent with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchild.
