Hilda Bowen of Burlington Flats went home to her Lord joyously on Sunday September 9, 2012.

She was born September 11, 1941 in the town of New Lisbon, the daughter of Kenneth Arthur & Viola
(Richards) Harrington.

She married Wesley Bowen on May 25, 1963 at the United Methodist Church in Morris. Wesley predeceased Hilda on April 2, 2005.

Hilda was a member of the Exeter Center United Methodist Church and served as Treasurer for the Exeter Center Cemetery Association. She was a devoted wife, for more than forty years, to Wesley in their marriage, raising of their children and the farm. Hilda also was a professional hairstylist, and operated her own hair salon for many years. Hilda thoroughly enjoyed being with children, and was considered the "mother" to all who came across her path in life. She enjoyed her ceramic classes; and volunteered numerous hours to the community in fund raising events. Hilda was motivated to give joyously to all, this was especially true for Christmas season.
