Wanda M. Bowe, age 89, of Eau Claire, died on Thursday, January 23, 2025, at The Classic at Hillcrest Greens in Altoona, Wisconsin surrounded by her family. 

Wanda was born July 7, 1935, to the late Ernest and Edna (Windsor) Mitchell in the Town of Cleveland, Wisconsin. On July 26, 1955, she was united in marriage to Kenneth Bowe in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin. She was the owner of Valley Boutique Crafts. Wanda was a devoted and loving wife, mom, grandmother, and great grandmother who enjoyed golfing, bowling, crafting, traveling, and visiting the Casinos - especially in Las Vegas. Her joyful and loving spirit will be missed but lives on through her family.

She is survived by her husband, Ken; daughters, Cheri (Bill) Lennie, Lauri (Don) Borton and Dawn (Paul) Sells; sons, Randy (Lori) Bowe and Brad (Brenda) Bowe; daughter-in-law, Kelly Bowe; grandchildren, Ryan (Jen), Craig (Kelly), Joseph (Melissa), Kendra, Rachel (Jay), Amber, Briana (Brandon), Brady (Kelsey), Sara (Mike) and Hayden (McKenzie); 21 great grandchildren; sister, Mickey Johnson; many nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.

Wanda was preceded in death by her son, Darin; five brothers and three sisters. For the last six years

Wanda lived at The Classic where she received loving care. Her family is grateful and thanks all the staff (as well those of St. Croix Hospice) for their dedicated and exceptional care.

Honoring a life with a meaningful service is an important step in the grief process and is a gift to their family and friends —
a gift of memories and a gift of healing
