Bowen, Reva Mae March 4, 1921 - March 10, 2007

Reva Mae Bowen, 86, joined her beloved husband, Del on Saturday, 
March 10, 2007. Reva was born March 4, 1921 in Duke, Oklahoma to John 
E. and Bessie L. Parrish. Along with her parents and older brother, 
John Jr., she moved to Calaveras County as a teenager. After 
graduation from Calaveras High School she married Delmar Bowen in 
1938. Reva and Del lived in Northern California their entire married 
life, settling in Stockton where they raised their family. Reva 
worked at the Boy Scout Council for several years and attended 
Stockton Junior College. She became an Accounting Clerk with the 
State of California, retiring from Cal Trans after more than 24 years 
of service in 1980. In 1990 Reva and Del relocated to Lodi. Always 
kind, caring and soft-spoken, Reva taught through example how to be 
the best wife, mother, grandmother and friend. She was a member of 
the State Employees Retirees and First United Methodist Church, Lodi. 
Reva loved to tend her roses and read, she would never miss an 
opportunity to go to the Lake Tahoe casinos. Most of all she loved to 
be surrounded by her family.

her husband of 56 years. She will be sadly missed by her children,
