Lula Mae Wright Bowen, 90, of Covington, went to be with her Lord on Saturday, November 11, 2023 at her residence.

Lula was born August 25, 1933, in Alleghany County, a daughter of the late Samuel J. and Zetta Wright. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, James Lee Bowen; two daughters, Pamela Tucker and Terry Bowen; two sons, Sammy Nelson and Danny Nelson; and eight brothers and sisters.

Mrs. Bowen retired as a manager at the former Ritch’s Cleaners in Covington. She was a member of the War Ridge Free Will Baptist Church in Wayside, WV. In her spare time, she loved tending to her garden, bird watching, playing card games, working puzzles, playing pool, and even video games. Most of all, though, she loved playing her guitar and singing in her church.

Surviving are three daughters, Carol Bush and Libby Day, both of Covington, and Zettie Fisher of Florida; one son, Jonah Bowen of West Virginia; several grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, and nephews, whom she loved dearly.

In accordance with her wishes, her body has been cremated.

A family organized memorial service is planned for December 8, 2023 at First Christian Church with the Rev. Bill Gilliland officiating.
