Beth Ann Bowen

Beth Ann Bowen, 60, of Shelbyville passed away on May 10th, 2025 at her home surrounded by family. 

Beth was born on May 21, 1964 in Shelbyville, Indiana. She was the daughter of James W. Fisher and Judie A. (Thornburg) Fisher. She married David Bowen on October 1, 1983, and he survives. Beth is also survived by her two sons, Dylan (Kristen) Bowen of Indianapolis; Derek (Stacy) Bowen of Alexandria, IN; brother Phillip (Amy) Fisher of Indianapolis; half-sister JaMa Fisher of Shelbyville; half-sister Rhonda Fisher of Shelbyville; granddaughter Elizabeth Bowen; sister-in-law Brenda (David) Crawford; brother-in-law Michael (Charlie) Bowen; and several nieces/nephews and great-nieces/nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents. 

Beth graduated from Shelbyville High School in 1983. She worked for Bank One in Indianapolis until the birth of her second son. She spent several years as a stay-at-home mom, raising her sons and babysitting local kids. She eventually returned to the workforce for 14 years, doing paralegal work for local law firms. She also worked at J&L Tool and Machine, Inc. Beth enjoyed spending time outdoors, tending to her flower gardens, visiting the beach, and caring for her cats. Above all else, she loved spending quality time with her family. 

The Bowen family would like to express their sincere appreciation to all of Beth's outstanding care team, including doctors Jill Cole, Michael Eaton, and Jeffrey Goldberg; nurses Kylie and Andrea; and the countless other nurses and professionals that supported Beth through her four-and-a-half-year journey with cancer. They would also like to thank Beth's long-time best friend, Tina Worthington, for her continuous support, and the many others who have sent cards and meals through the years. 

A private celebration of life will be held at a later date.
