Born to Dorothy and Andy Bowles, Barbara was the eldest of three.  Her brothers are Bobby and Charles Bowles.  Barbara, aka mom was married to my dad for 27 years and had three awesome kids (I'm biased), Scott, Tyler and Robin. 

Mom had lots of caring, longtime friends that kept her busy throughout the years.  Mom met Tony in the mid 80's and they were partners or as Tony liked to call it "friends" ever since.  Mom and Tony travelled to lots of cool places.  Tony's family along the way made mom their own and included her in all of their family gatherings.  Mom also travelled to Seattle and Oregon frequently to spend time with her kids and grand kids.
