Treva Ann "Pete" Bowman, age 54, of Toledo, passed away Tuesday, August 9, 2005 at Hospice of Northwest Ohio, Toledo. She was born to the late Owen and Clara Moore on March 26, 1951. At an early age Treva was baptized into the Church of God in Christ. In 1995 Treva joined Upton United Methodist Church where she was a faithful member of the choir and head usher, until her health began to deteriorate.
Treva loved to read and discover new adventures. As a young girl, she excelled in academics. This was evident by her ability to obtain her Bachelor's and Master's Degrees, both from the University of Toledo. She was employed as a teacher and administrator for Toledo Public Schools for over twenty five years. Her last position was as a Curriculum Specialist for the Wait High School Learning Community.
Although Treva experienced many victories, she was most proud when Vallie was elected to the position of Toledo Municipal Clerk of Court.
Precious memories will remain with her loving children, daughter: Vallie (Ian) Bowman-English, of Toledo; son: Albert Reese (Desirae) Bowman, of Columbus; grandchildren: Armon Bowman, Ian English II, Aaron Johnson, Jr., Jerrod Hunter, Denise Hunter, and Ja'Lisa Golliday; Special son: Wayne (Jeanelle) Golliday, of Toledo; four sisters: Johnetta (James) Gant, of Toledo, Naomi Hodges, of Snellville, GA, Dr. Sheila (Bishop G.F.)
