Mr. William H. Bowen

Our family at Majestic Funeral Home joins with the Bowen family to inform those concerned that Mr. William Bowen has permanently changed his address from Earth to Glory as of Tuesday night, April 17, 2018,  while in New Hanover Regional Medical Center in Wilmington, NC surrounded by his devoted family.

Moments have been etched in time for family and friends to pay homage to Mr. Bowen. On Sunday evening, April 22, 2018 between the hours of 5pm and 7pm, William’s relatives will receive visitors at Graham Chapel AME Zion Church in East Arcadia. On Monday, April 23, 2018 commencing at 1pm, a Service of Remembrance will take place also at Graham Chapel AME Zion Church. Immediately following the services in the sanctuary, Mr. Bowen’s physical vessel and his cherished family will be escorted to the church cemetery for Committal Rites.  As difficult as this is for Mr. William’s family and friends to endure this tremendous loss, consolation comes knowing that God promised to be closer than a mother, father,sister or brother when each of them are no longer with us.  If God said it, then that settles it and He will fulfill His promises for this precious family being anything they need just when they need it the most.

He leaves to cherish his memories:  five daughters:  DeAnna Bowen, Tina Bowen Palmer (Fred), Constance Bowen Bress (Dalton, Jr.), Jalisa Bowen and Natoshia Allen; four sons:   Ramon Bowen,   William Bowen, Jr., Quashaunn and Shaquann Shufford; twenty-nine grandchildren; eight great-grandchildren; eight brothers, Robert S. Bowen, Ralph Bowen, Jr. who was his fishing partner (Rena), James Bowen (Ann), Glenn Bowen ,Carl Bowen, Sr., another fishing partner;  Moses O’Neal Bowen, Roger Bowen, Kenneth Bowen; two sisters:  Bernice Simpson (Lonnie) and Jane Bowen; one uncle:  Willie Lacewell; three aunts:  Vina Jacobs, Agnes Lacewell and Claressa Jones; brothers-in-law:  Ramon Moore and Arthur L.

Brown (David) and Helen Banks (Stanley); special grandson:  Raymond    Bowen; special friends:  April Jordan, James Bryant, Bernice Miller and Jeffery Bowen and a host of  nieces,  nephews, cousins and friends.
