Michelle A. Bowen

Michelle A. Bowen, 68, of Manchester, passed away at home on November 3, 2021, after a short battle with cancer.

She was born and adopted in Germany, September 23, 1953. Michelle came to America in early childhood and proudly became a US Citizen as the age of 16. She attended local Manchester schools, graduating from Manchester Memorial High School in 1971. That is where she met her one true love, Larry Bowen. They were married in August 1971, and celebrated over 50 years of marriage, in what their daughter always referred to as “their own little bubble”. Michelle loved factory work, and eventually settled in at G.E. in Hooksett where she spent 25 years, retiring in 2006 to take on a new role as her granddaughter’s favorite babysitter. She was a proud mother and grandmother, hard worker, and fierce friend.

Besides her ever-doting husband, Michelle is survived by her daughter, Heather and son in law Tom Paris of Manchester; her favorite human ever, granddaughter Haley Thibeault; her in-laws, Phil, Linda, Christina, John, Johnny and Christopher, along with dear friends Maureen, Judy, Gary, and Lora.
