Linda Tuttle Bowen

Linda Carole Tuttle Bowen, beloved mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, passed away peacefully on April 14, 2025, at the age of 73.

Born on July 7, 1951, in Lancaster, South Carolina, Linda was the cherished daughter of the late Elmer Tuttle, Sr. and Lavenia Hill Tuttle. She carried the strength and kindness of her roots with her throughout her life.

A devoted homemaker, Linda poured her heart into creating a warm and loving home for her family. To her children, she was simply the greatest mom on earth — a title she wore with grace, humor, and unwavering love. Her love only grew deeper with the arrival of her grandchildren, who brought her endless joy and were the light of her later years.

Linda had a curious and joyful spirit. She found beauty in the simple pleasures of life — from bird watching on a quiet afternoon, to filling her kitchen with the comforting aroma of home-cooked meals. She had a knack for discovering hidden treasures while antique shopping, always drawn to things with a story, much like herself.

In addition to her parents, Linda was preceded in death by her husband, Vernon Charles Bowen and many other loving family members.

Her memory will forever be treasured by her sons, Chad Bowen (Jill) of Bonaire and Jason Bowen (Terri) of Perry; life partner, Johnny Dobson of Kathleen; grandchildren, Joseph Harker, Nicholas Harker, Aaron Bowen, Linley Bowen, Logan Kent, and Luke Kent; great-grandson, Liam Harker; siblings, Phyllis Tremblay, Laura McDade, and Elmer George Tuttle, Jr. (Rhonda); and many nieces and nephews.

Visitation will be on Wednesday, April 16, 2025, from 6:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. at McCullough Funeral Home. A funeral service will be held at 3:00 p.m. on Thursday, April 17, 2025, in the chapel of McCullough Funeral Home. Afterward, Linda will be laid to rest in Magnolia Park Cemetery.
