Peggy Ann Bowyer, 88, died Jan. 2, 2021, of natural causes.
The youngest of six siblings, she was born in Bluffton, Ohio, on March 7, 1932, to the late Dorothy and Charles Young.
Following graduation from Bluffton High School in 1950, she married Kenneth Bowyer on June 24, 1950, and they were married 56 years prior to his death.
Peggy Ann Bowyer (Young) lived a long life and devoted herself to raising her children through various bumps, bruises, and more than a few broken limbs. Ever resourceful, she taught herself how to can and freeze vegetables from the family’s large garden and her freezer jam (grape, strawberry, peach, and black raspberry) was much enjoyed by her family.
