Lynn Edward Bowman, 82, passed away April 18, 2019, due to lingering health issues. Lynn, the son of Edward and Florence Nedrow Bowman was born and raised west of Ashton and spent the majority of his life working the family ranch.

He attended the Sarilda one room school through eighth grade and then North Fremont High School, graduating in 1955. After high school he attended Ricks College where he also played football. As a young adult he served in the U.S. Army and the National Guard.

In 1963 he married Mae Potter of Chester, Idaho in the Idaho Falls Temple. They were married for 48 years when she passed away in 2011. Mae and Lynn were the parents of ten children. Family was their first priority and their lives were further enriched when grandchildren came along.

Lynn was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served in many church capacities through the years including his dedicated work in the scouting program. He, along with his wife, enjoyed being part of the community. Singing in the church and local choirs, being active in the NF booster club (enthusiastically following athletic events) and volunteering to teach school children to square dance, were all activities they enjoyed for decades. Lynn also served on the Fremont County Library Board for many years.

He is survived by his children: Trudy (Brian) Neuffer of Glenview, IL; Brett (Amy) Bowman of Logan UT; Bryce (Jerin) Bowman of Filer, ID; Melodie (David) Hess of Ashton, ID; Trina (Marty) Daffer of Pahrump, NV; VeAnn Atkinson of Logan, UT; Scott (Laura) Bowman of Ashton, ID; Kriss (Katrina) Bowman of Rigby, ID; Blake (Kaylie) Bowman of Ashton, ID; Gregg (Heather) Bowman of Rigby, ID; his 49 grandchildren and 9 great grandchildren. He also leaves a sister, Iris Holmquist of Seattle, WA.

He was preceded in death by his parents, wife and a son-in-law, Bill Atkinson.
