Obituary of Jane Lynn Bowers

Jane Bowers, a bright and vibrant light, filled every room she entered with laughter and joy. Born to Mary Beth Strait on March 13, 1948. She passed away peacefully with family by her side on Saturday, September 16, 2023. Jane’s sense of humor was infectious and her quick wit could bring smiles to the faces of everyone around her. If you asked her about her greatest accomplishment in life, she would proudly tell you it was her family. Later in life, Jane met the love of her life, Randy Yanez. Their love was a testament to the power of patience and the beauty of finding ones soulmate later in life. Jane often spoke of Randy as the person who brought her the purest happiness she had ever known. She adored her children, Christine Johnson, Jessica Bowers, and Jeremy Bowers, and her love for them knew no bounds. Her grandchildren, Nicholas, Kyle, Morghan, Katie Jane, and Josie, were the light of her life, and she treasured every moment spent with them. Her great-grandchildren, Isaiah and Marius brought her immeasurable joy, and their laughter filled her heart. Her laughter will forever echo in our hearts, and her love will continue to guide us. Jane Bowers is preceded in death by her beloved mother, Mary Beth, and her dear brother, Harold. In honor of Jane’s vibrant spirit and love for life, a service memorial will be held on Saturday, September 23, 2023, from 4pm to 7pm at Pioneer Manor, 2225 6th Street, White Bear Lake, MN 55110. May we gather together to celebrate the incredible life of Jane Bowers and find comfort in the memories we shared. Jane was passionate about elephants and the family has requested that in lieu of flowers, donations in Jane's name can be made to The Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee at shop.elephants.com
