Carolyn L. Bowling

Carolyn L. Bowling, lovingly known as "Pat", passed away on April 18, 2022. She was born on December 13, 1931 to the late Virgil and Marie McDaniel.

She was a wonderful mother, grandmother, sister and aunt. She enjoyed spending time with her family and her friends as they were her life. She was also an avid Ohio State Buckeye fan. She was the matriarch that everyone loved, and she loved everyone.

In addition to her parents, Pat was preceded in death by her loving husband of 35 years, Clarence Bowling; her son, Rickie; and her brothers and sisters: Russell, Paul, Mary Belle, Rose, Virginia, Maude, Henry, Robert, Anna Jean, Jack and Mary Eloise.

She loved every one of them in her special way.
