Elisabeth ‘Liz’ Joy Bowen
When You Can’t Find The Sunshine, Be The Sunshine

Liz was a member of First United Methodist Church in Paxton.
She is survived by her husband Jason Bowen, of Paxton; two children Marcus Bowen and Emma Bowen, both of Paxton; her parents Paul and Vivian Liddle of Salem, IL; one brother Josh (Marla) Liddle of Ottawa; mother-in-law and father-in-law Bert and Charlotte Bowen, of Paxton; a brother-in-law Dan (Dawn) Bowen of St. Joseph; a sister-in-law Amanda (Doug) Balk of Bourbonnais; and many nieces, nephews, and special friends.
