Kathleen M. Bowman

Kathleen M. Bowman (nee, Briand); daughter of the late Leon and the late Barbara Briand; beloved wife of Bruce; loving mother of Stephanie, Jeremy, Kristine (Justin), Bruce (Maryanne), Brett (Erica) and Paige (Severin); devoted grandmother of Joshua, Jaxson, Lilly, Annika, Karianne, Konrad, Kaylie, Connor, Adrian, Tyler and Viktoria; great-grandmother of Madeline; dear sister of Tom, Paul (Lynn), Patty, the late Susan and the late Maryanne; also, fond aunt, cousin and friend of many.

She was a tough, funny, hardworking woman who never asked for much and always gave so much of herself to others. A devoted wife and loving mother. She was a cancer survivor who faced life’s challenges with strength and courage. She lived a simple life, finding joy in the little things and, most of all, in the people she loved. Her grandchildren were her greatest joy, and she cherished every moment spent with them. She loved baking and cooking for all her close friends and family. She will be remembered for her strength, her laughter, her generous heart, and the unconditional love she gave to her family. She was one of a kind and will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.

Close family and friends are invited to join us for a Celebration of Life luncheon on Thursday August 6th 12-3pm at Moretti’s Ristorante 2475 W Higgins Rd. Hoffman Estates, IL 60169
