Bekkie J. Mowery

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Bekkie J. Mowery, 74, of Van Wert, who left us peacefully on Saturday, March 22, 2025.

Born on March 2, 1951, in Kenton to Ernie and Mary Lou (Bailey) Goodwin, who preceded her in death, Bekkie lived a life filled with love and family until her final days. Bekkie was a proud graduate of Rockford High School and dedicated much of her life to working at Cooper Farms, from where she retired.

On August 26, 1999, she married the love of her life, Rolland V. Mowery, who survives in Van Wert. Together, they created a warm and supportive home for their family.

In addition to her husband, Bekkie is survived by her daughters, Kristen (Kyle) Marbaugh of Van Wert and Hannah (Shannon) Brown of Oakwood; grandchildren, Maggie and Ashton Davis, Eli, Ella and Ivy Marbaugh, Morgan Szurminski, and Hudson Brown — all of who were the pride and joy of her life. Bekkie’s love for her family knew no bounds, and her spirit will live on in the stories shared and memories created together.

Bekkie was also preceded in death by her brother, Randy Goodwin.

In accordance with Bekkie’s wishes, no services will be held.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to a charity of the donor’s choice.
