Jennie Lee Bowman

"Well done my good and faithful servant...Enter thou into the joy of the Lord". Matthew 25:23 During the early morning hours of Sunday, July 11, 2021, Jennie Lee Hudson Bowman, entered into life everlasting surrounded by those whom she loved and treasured most in this world.

Jennie was a beautiful girl with beautiful hazel eyes and reddish hair who loved her family immensely. From a very early age, Jennie gave her life to Christ and shared that love with everyone she knew. As a devoted prayer warrior," Aunt Jennie" as she was known by her numerous nieces and nephews, spent her time each day in prayer and God's Word lifting up the needs of her family and friends. Her life of Christian devotion was an example to all of us.

Jennie Lee was born in Indiantown, South Carolina as the fourth daughter to Harry Daniel and Fannie May Galloway Hudson on November 2, 1935. She spent the beginning of her childhood in Indiantown, South Carolina and later, after the death of her father, spent the remaining part of her childhood from the age of 9 at Thornwell Home for Children in Clinton, South Carolina along with her sisters, Elise, Margie and Harriet. Her older sister, Lola, stayed behind to help care for their mother and would send the girls some spending money. Jennie would recount how she looked so forward to the letters and money that her big sister would send. Jennie graduated from Thornwell High School in 1955 and later attended cosmetology school.

Jennie spent her working life as a hairdresser and retired from the Presbyterian Home in Summerville, South Carolina. Later in life, Jennie married her true love, Mr. Robert Bowman, and together they called Summerville, South Carolina their home where they were members of the Summerville Presbyterian Church for many years. Jennie loved her church and would often invite friends to attend services with her. One of her fondest memories was when a friend entered Aunt Jennie's name in a drawing for a brand new car, and she won. She was so proud of the car that would allow her transportation to church, work and to visit her family.
