Obituary for Betty Bowers

Betty Bowers, 94, of Orrville, entered into rest Friday, January 27, 2017 at her residence surrounded by her loving family.

She was born in Dalton, Ohio on June 24, 1922 to John F. and Nola (Zaugg) Moser and graduated from Dalton High School in 1940. She married Dwight J. Bowers on March 31, 1945 and he entered into rest in 1986.

She has been a Dalton or Orrville resident all of her life and was a member of the Dalton Presbyterian Church, the Order of the Eastern Star and the American Legion Auxiliary. In addition to being a devoted homemaker, she worked as a cook at Dunlap Memorial Hospital in Orrville before retiring after many years of service. She enjoyed working on piecing quilts and wall hangings, was an avid reader and a fan of the Cleveland Indians. She most loved spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Betty is survived by: her daughters Kathy (Sam) Schlabach of Dalton and Sue (Ken) Smythe of Orrville; grandchildren Mark (Brenda) Schlabach of Wooster, Adrienne Smythe of Kenton, OH. and Steve Smythe (Crystal Josefov) of Orrville; great-grandchildren Trinity Schlabach of Marietta, OH. and Nick Schlabach of Wooster; and her favorite canine companion, "Enzo".

In addition to her parents and husband, she was preceded in death by her son, Steve Bowers, who entered into rest in 1969; a sister, Helen Fulmer, and a brother, Leslie Moser.

At her request a private graveside service will be held at the convenience of the family. There will not be a public service. Custer-Glenn Funeral Home in Wooster is honored with serving the family.
