In Loving Memory of George R. Bowser

October 19, 1939 – January 31, 2026

George Richard Bowser, a devoted man of faith, family, and hard work, went home to be with his Lord and Savior on January 31, 2026, surrounded by love and peace, in the presence of his family.

Born on October 19, 1939, George was a proud graduate of Freeport Area High School,  Class of 1957.

He continued his education at Penn State University, where he completed one semester before beginning a lifelong career built on dedication, integrity, and skill.

George was a proud member of IBEW Local 712 and served faithfully as a Journeyman Electrician for more than 77 years. His remarkable career included 11 years with Prothero Electric Company, followed by 11 years as an Area Foreman at the BV2 Nuclear Power Station. He later worked with multiple companies in New Jersey, earning respect wherever he served. After his formal career, George continued to pursue his interests and obtained his real estate license.

Above all, George was a man who loved the Lord. His faith guided his life, shaped his character, and gave him strength through every season. He lived with humility, kindness, and a servant’s heart.

George was preceded in death by his parents, George Rankin and (Mayme) Domenica (Bartony) Bowser; his sisters, Carol Rowan (Claire) and Darlene Monte (Steve); his former wife, Lue Verne (Romigh) Bowser; his daughter-in-law, Mischelle Bowser; and his grandson, Anthony Kramer.

He will be deeply missed by his children: Scott Bowser (Penny), Shawn Bowser (Shawn Renee), Shannon Jacobyansky (Bill), Shane Bowser (Leslie), and by his devoted companion, Kelly Nealis.He was a proud and devoted grandfather to Andrew Bowser (Hillary), Greg Bowser (Lauren), Elijah Bowser (Jocelyn), Christiana (Bowser) Glazar (David), Shanya Cavalier (Tony), Andrew Bowser (Brother James of Jesus Crucified), Angela Bowser (Jake), Ashton Bowser (Tresa), Alexander Bowser, Augustine Bowser, Aidan Bowser, Mary Audrey Bowser, Adrienne Bowser, Abraham Jacobyansky (Anaruth), Ruth Jacobyansky, and Samuel Jacobyansky. He is also lovingly remembered by his 13 great-grandchildren.

George was a loving father, grandfather, and friend whose wisdom, generosity, and steady presence will be deeply missed. His life reflected perseverance, faithfulness, and love for both God and family.

Though we mourn his passing, we rejoice in the assurance that he is now at peace in the presence of his Savior, where his faith has finally become sight.

John 14: 1-3

2 In My Father’s house are many dwelling places. If it were not so, I would have told you, because I am going there to prepare a place for you.
