Judy Lee

Bowles

Mrs. Judy Lee (Nee: Fondren) Bowles of Warrenton, MO, passed away Saturday, May 14, 2022. She was born July 15, 1953 in Tuscaloosa, AL, to Allen and Isabel Fondren. She had reached the age of 68 years.

Judy's career focused on Christian ministry to children. She served many years at Child Evangelism Fellowship where she authored stories about Christian heroes such as "Bold for God; The Luis Palau Story" as well as "A Friend of God: The Story of Joni Eareckson Tada" and others. Through Bible Visuals International, she was the author of "Be The One: The Todd Beamer Story." Judy was a member of Grace Bible Church in Warrenton.

Judy became a mother to three 20-somethings after marrying Chuck in 1999, and by 2001, she was promoted to grandma, a role she embraced wholeheartedly. Judy was devoted to her family members, and loved her grandchildren. Her grandchildren will remember her sugar cookies and homemade chicken strips. Most of all, Judy adored her husband, Chuck whom she referred to regularly as "the best man since Adam." After several hospital stays and after she moved into a memory care facility in 2021, caregivers were always eager to meet Chuck because they had already heard so much about him.

Judy was preceded in death by her parents, Allen and Isabel; siblings, Allen Eugene "Gene" Fondren, Annie Merle Sims, Jack Fondren, Jeannette Aultman, Sam Fondren, Frank Fondren. She is survived by her step-children, Cheryl Summers (Shawn), Julie Bowles-Saoirse, Charles A Bowles Jr. (Kieron); grandchildren,Claire Summers, Kaitlyn Bowles, Reagan Lee, Shea Lee, Charles A Bowles III "Charlie", Aletiza "Allie" Bowels, Ella Summers, Crane Lee, Colin Lee, Walker Bowles; twin sister, Joyce Evans and sister Patsy Ford.
