Genevieve Hazel (Bowers) Glover

Genevieve Hazel (Bowers) Glover passed on Jan. 15, 2016, “to be with her parents, brother, sister and her many friends.”

She was very talented, was an accomplished accordion player, artist, and enjoyed crafts, sewing and anything with her hands.

Jean was born in Anoka, Minnesota. She was married there and in this marriage she had three children, Wendy, Daniel and Edward; her husband died at a young age and left her widowed. She moved to Oceanside, California, where she met Larry and they married in Las Vegas on the Strip in November 1964. Larry was in the military until 1965 and on his discharge they moved to South Bend, Indiana. After a short stay there, they moved back to California, to Colorado and then to Montana, where they stayed for the next 40 years.

During all this time, Jean had worked in a tennis shoe factory, Hughes Air Craft, North American, Douglas Air Craft, Honeywell, to beautician school and was a beautician in Colorado and in Montana. She got her GED and then got a job as a telephone operator, from which she took an early retirement and started traveling to all 49 states by motor home and to Hawaii, on cruises and to Mexico. Larry and Jean bought property in Yuma, Arizona, where they built a house and spent their last 20 years going to Yuma.

She was preceded in death by her mom and dad, Gladys and Charlie Bowers; sister, Toots; and brother, Ken.

She leaves behind her husband, Larry; daughter, Wendy, and Dave Maechtle; son, Daniel, and Leasa; son, Edward; six grandchildren; five great-grandchildren; and relatives and friends that will miss her dearly. Jean’s Yorkie misses her very much.

May she rest in peace.
