I don't know you. I found myself on the site looking through obituaries and thinking about life. I'm sorry about your loss and I hope she lives on in your memory.

Betty will be dearly missed by her pharmacy family at Mayo. She brought a positive, upbeat attitude into every situation, and her kind heart was always open to helping others. She left a lasting impact on everyone who had the pleasure of working with her. Sending many prayers for her family, friends, and loved ones.

I so wished I could be in Rochester today wearing rainbow colors. You always showed me kindness on such a personal level even when things were complicated. You personalized our chat with lime green and dolphins because you knew they were my favorite. We bonded over Stitch and Land Before Time. I still have the asexual flag you bought me hanging in my room. I always felt confident in myself, flaws and all whenever we hung out together wether it was sharing a conversation about hard feelings or a dance (something I had never felt confident enought to do before). Even though we only knew each other for a short time, I felt like we'd known each other for decades.

You were also one of my biggest supporters when I initially fell sick. Your validation and kind heart meant SO much to me as I struggled mentally to be at peace with my chronic illness. You let me stay with you and Connor while I sought answers at Mayo. You had even liked my status when I finally gotten a diagnosis just a couple weeks ago. It never crossed my mind that lightning would strike twice. That just as you had supported me in my own diagnosis, you would fall sick too. When I heard the news, my heart broke. I couldn't believe it. It didn't seem fair. 

Please know that you were a big part of my inner healing. My thoughts will continue to be with you and Connor and all of your loved ones. 

The world lost a wonderful person August 20.  Betty was loved and cherished by so many people. There is a hole in many hearts grieving for the loss of Betty.

I hope Connor stays strong and knows everyone feels horrible for him and Betty's family.

Such a tragedy to lose a life so young.

I am praying for you all and sending you strength to move forward.

Rest in Peace Betty Jo Bowman.

Betty was both a warm friend and an inspiring role model. We spent many days working together either talking about something difficult where she lent comfort, something serious where she lent her calm demeanor, or even something clinical where she eagerly lent her immense wealth of knowledge and passion. She was one of the few people to openly share her love for her practice, as well as her love for life. On my last day with her which ended up being her last day of work, she came in later than usual because there was a beautiful rainbow and sunrise to observe. There are so many things that we can take away from someone like Betty that make the world a much better place. Best wishes to her family and hopes they may find healing and peace. 

Hello,

I give my sincerest condolences in the loss of Betty. I saw this and was confused, sad, and in disbelief. Thank you for including this link with so much information and sources. I was friends with Betty in high school. We weren’t best friends but we were close in the few classes we shared every year. I have some great memories of our conversations from then. I’ve only kept in distant touch through Facebook over the years. She was a beautiful woman and soul. May she never be forgotten and she rest peacefully. 

My prayers for everyone in this time. 
Sincerely, 

Nikki Sanders

We are extremely saddened to hear of the tragic loss of Betty. Her light will shine on. Our thoughts with Connor and Family. 

This news is absolutely crushing. I was just a short blip in Betty's life but she was always a ray of sunshine and so caring and generous. I loved when she would join me on walks with Crumpet and talking about all the crazy antics he would get up to or even just sharing funny corgi pictures.  I will never forget the days of talking to Connor about his proposal plans and how excited and truly happy he was to propose to such an amazing woman. As my first ever regular clients and what I had considered to be good friends, both Connor and Betty will always hold a special place in my heart. My absolute and deepest condolences to Betty's family and friends. She will be so incredibly missed.

Betty really did live life to its fullest. She never took anything or anyone for granted. She had such a big heart. She cherished her loved ones and made sure that they knew. She was an inspiration, and she would want all of her loved ones to continue living life to its fullest like she did. She really was a truly special, beautiful, generous, thoughtful, kind, loving, adventurous, one-of-a-kind person. She was the best of us ❤

Dear Connor, Laine, Brent and Family,

Words cannot express our sorrow for Betty. We are deeply shocked and saddened by the news.

Wishing you and your family all the strength to get through this extremely difficult time.

Her memory will live forever in our hearts.

Our deepest condolences,

Ildiko and Tamas Kapros

Betty is one of sweetest and kindest people I know in Rochester, she made my time in Rochester a time I look back at gladly. I’ll always remember when she helped host one of the games at a baby shower, she came prepared with every little detail thought of, we all had so much fun with the game! That’s what she does, she brightens up a room and makes you smile. I’m so sorry for your lost, Betty is missed so much.

I didn't get the chance to work with Betty as much as I would've liked, but she was such a sweet person. She was always empathetic and cared deeply about her job. I send my deepest condolences to the family of Betty. May her beautiful soul rest in peace.
