[57123] "The Bangor Daily News [Bangor, Maine]," 4 May 2022: "Bucksport - Esther Louise Bowden passed away on April 30, 2022, following a recent decline in health, with family by her side. Over the past 20 years she had endured several cancer surgeries and treatments; always with a positive acceptance and the determination to enjoy life and remaining independent up until this past winter. Esther was born on July 14, 1935, in Harrington, Maine, daughter of Teresa and George Ames. At age 6, they moved to Bucksport, Maine, where she resided for the remainder of her life. Esther was a proud graduate of Bucksport High School, class of 1953. Her classmates remained special life-long friends. In July of that year, she married Eugene W. Bowden. For 58 years they raised a family and shared many special memories until his passing in 2011. Esther's primary focus was her family. She was a very devoted wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, and aunt. Esther was an expert seamstress making beautiful clothing and quilts. In the later years when smaller projects were easier to manage, she created everything from Christmas tree skirts to tooth fairy pillows. She was an excellent cook and looked forward to all the frequent family gatherings when she would cook entire meals or more recently cooking at least one item to be able to contribute. Esther was an active volunteer for school events and fundraising for her children and grandchildren, and along with Eugene, attended many of their grandchildren's sporting events. Esther and Eugene spent many years camping, initially in Maine and New Hampshire and through the Maritime Provinces of Canada. They soon discovered their love of Prince Edward Island and would camp at Twin Shores Camping Area in Darnley for the next 40 years; eventually considering this more of a summer home when Eugene retired. Esther continued to spend time there as her children supported her camping outings for 10 more years after Eugene passed away. Their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren cherish many fond memories of the time spent together there as a family. Eugene and Esther shared their love of The Island with friends becoming part of the family. Esther was loved and will be missed by her surviving children - Stephen Bowden and wife, Juanita, Mark Bowden and wife, Delores, Craig Bowden and wife, Corinne, and Jeanna Bjorn; grandchildren - Jamie and wife, Amie, Shane and wife, Ja'Nette, Trevor and wife, Chloe, Jared and wife, Krystle, Brittany and husband, Reno, Jack and wife, Liz, Clark and girlfriend, Sydney, Greg and girlfriend, Brittany, Chris and wife Lindsey, and Tyler; great-grandchildren - Paige, Peyton, Maisie, Alyx, Sadie, Jaden, Brenna, Ethan, Beckett, Gryffin, Aiden, Chancze, Greyson, Karson, Blair, Barron; brothers - Russell Ames and wife, Kathy; Robert Ames and wife, Lorre; sister-in-law, Doris Bowden; and many nieces, nephews, cousins and special friends. In addition to her parents and husband, Eugene, Esther was predeceased by their infant son, Timothy; sister, Marguerite; brother, Arlo and Eugene's siblings - Wilfred Bowden, Leslie Bowden, Marguerite Eckert, and her husband, Philip."
