Bowens was born Aug. 26, 1909 and became Oklahoma’s oldest woman when she turned 110. She was married for 65 years and had six children and more than 50 grandchildren.
Tracy Roper was one of many who shared their feelings on social media.
“Mrs. Bowens truly lived a long, beautiful life, touched many hearts, and she will be missed.”
Bowens was born in Guthrie just two years after Oklahoma became a state. She was alive when the Titanic sank and lived through both World Wars.
