Obituary for Marquieta M. Bowens
Deaconess Marquieta M. Bowens departed this life on September 2, 2014. She was born to Ruth M. Powell and Arthur Taylor on August 9th 1944 in Richmond, Virginia. Ruth met and married Lawrence Lynch a few years later and Marquieta was adopted by Lawrence Lynch who raised her to adulthood and gave her away in marriage.
Marquieta attended public school in Mattituck, Long Island. At the age of 10 her parents moved to Jamaica, New York where she attended public school and graduated from John Adams High School in 1963. She also attended and graduated from Nursing Aide School in 1967. After graduation she worked at Kennedy Airport for Serv-Air and Mary Immaculate Hospital where she met Clayton Bowens. Shortly after marrying Clayton on August 13, 1966 they had three sons, Clayton Alan (deceased), Eric Lamont and Branden Maurice.
Of all her achievements in life her most significant was her decision to accept Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior. In 1987 she joined Scriptural Baptist Church and served faithfully as a missionary and deaconess.
Marquieta leaves to cherish her memory: Husband Clayton Bowens; 2 sons: Eric Lamont and Branden Maurice; 1 daughter-in-law Lavonne; 13 grandchildren Michael, Erica, Courtney, Mia, Dejah, Eric Jr., Jaden, Maurice, Keana, Kayla, Kaniyah, Kessiah and Jai-anah and 5 great grandchildren. Her sister Dale Lynch, 1 uncle Thomas Hubbard, 1 niece Kim Archie, 2 great nephews Christian and Cornelius, 1 great niece Kelley. She also leaves behind a host of sister and brother in laws and a host of family and friends.
It seems such a short time yet we are truly blessed for God acquainted us with one of his very best. You brought so much love, wisdom and knowledge into our family. You are none other than a legend in our family tree. We all pray that the example you set as you went through the fires of life will help us to bear our trials in memory of how you always went to God.
“Virtuous Woman”
Proverbs 31:10-31
