  LaRue L. Bowers 
  
  LEBANON LaRue L Wible Bowers died Thursday, May 12, 2011, at the age of 97. She 
  married Robert S. Bowers, Sr. of Mercersburg in 1929, and they lived most of 
  their lives in Somerville, N.J. Born on August 26, 1913 in Hustontown, she was 
  the daughter of the late Harry and Estella Wible of Clear Ridge. She was 
  preceded in death by her husband, Robert in 1964; their son, Dr. Robert S. 
  Bowers, Jr. in 1977; and their daughter, Gail R. DiPaolo in 1992. She is 
  survived by her son, James H. Bowers of Lebanon; five grandchildren; seven 
  great-grandchildren; two great-great-grandchildren; and numerous nieces and 
  nephews. LaRue worked at the Sears Roebuck Mail Order Department for 4 years 
  and worked at RCA Corporation of Somerville, N.J. for 20 years. She was an 
  honorary life member of the local 439 International Union of Electrical, Radio 
  and Machine Workers. She was a volunteer for the US Civil Defense during the 
  Second World War as an aircraft observer. She was a member of First United 
  Methodist Church in Somerville, N.J., and a member of United Methodist Womens 
  Auxiliary. She moved to Chambersburg in 1995, and then moved to Lebanon in 2004 
  to be closer to her son and daughter-in-law. LaRue enjoyed traveling and 
  dancing and among her favorite hobbies were knitting, in which the entire 
  family benefitted over the years from numerous hats, washclothes and booties 
  and gardening, with her green-thumb she could get plastic flowers to grow. 
  Mother, Nana will be missed but never forgotten. A private memorial service and 
  internment will be held later this summer at the United Methodist Church of 
  Clear Ridge.
