Honoring Patricia June Rowan ~ Life Celebration August 4, 2012

Beloved matriarch of the Rowan family has passed on at the age of 89. We were privileged to be there and surround her with love and peace toward what she believed to be her next spiritual journey. She shared her life with 14 children, 22 grandchildren and 23 great-grandchildren. She was predeceased by her husband of 35 years, Wilmer Joseph Rowan, their son Mark, daughters Laura and baby Erika, as well as one grandson, Kevin Sharratt.

A Legacy of Compassionate Service

Mama became a Registered Nurse at a young age and spent her life giving to and caring for others. She nursed three live-in patients as well as providing a safe haven to several foster children.

Our parents showed us by example how to make a difference in our communities as well as out in the greater world and we will continue to carry on their legacy.

One of Mom's last gestures to the world was to will her body to science, providing medical information on life processes to medical professionals.

Mom never wanted gifts but always asked that donations be made to The Heifer Society www.heifer.org (providing farm animals so families might become self-sustaining), and KIVA www.kiva.org (a microloan group lending $25 as start-up loans to women in less advantaged countries to start their own small businesses to support their families and communities).
