It is with heavy hearts that the family announces that Ronald Bowerman, age 83, of Waynetown, passed away in his home following a lengthy illness with loved ones by his side at 3:15 PM on Monday, April 21, 2025.  He was born in Crawfordsville on August 16, 1941 and was the son of the late Edgel and Doris Wilhite Bowerman.  He was married to the love of his life Orvilla Sue Douglas and they enjoyed 57 years together and she survives.

He graduated from Perington Texas High School in 1960 and then moved to Montgomery County.  Ron was a proud veteran and served with the United States Army from 1965-1967 at Ft. Leonard Wood, MO and later was stationed in Germany. Ron was employed by United Service in Crawfordsville for 12 years and finished his career by being employed for 30 years at Wabash College as the Store Room Manager.

Ron had a deep love for the simple joys in life - especially fishing with his grandson and son, the excitement of a good auction, as well as repairing and selling cars.  He loved his grandkids more than anything and seldom missed any of their sporting activities. To know him was to love him and the way he showed up for the people that he loved will never be forgotten.

Surviving along with his wife 'Sue' are a daughter Tammy (Bryan) White of New Market, a son; Tim Bowerman of Waynetown. Grandchildren: Derek (Shelby) White who reside in Norman Oklahoma & are expecting a baby soon, and Emily White.

In accordance to Ron's wishes, no services will be held. Visit us online at www.familyandfriendsfh.com to sign the guestbook or share a condolence.

The Bowerman family would like to express gratitude to Heart to Heart Hospice for their compassionate care and a big thank you to Andrea and Kayla who came to the house daily to offer care and support for Ron and his family.
