Wendy Bowers

Wendy Hartdegen Bowers passed away on June 15, 2020 at the age of 46 after a long fought battle with cancer. She is survived by her best friend and devoted husband, Wally, and their two beautiful children, Avery and Nathan. Born to Sharon and Charles (deceased) Hartdegen on June 9, 1974, Wendy proceeded to enrich the lives of others with her thoughtfulness. She is also survived by her older brother Brett (Rebecca), sister, Jody and dearly loved by many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends. She graduated from the University of New Orleans with a Business Management Degree and advanced to have a successful career. Soon Wendy transitioned from the business world to working alongside her husband at I.T.S. while also being a stay-at-home mom. You could always find her on the sidelines keeping score and cheering at Avery’s softball games, saying “come on girls let’s start a two-out rally.” She entertained Nathan with his video games and Legos for hours on end and attended numerous school events for her kids.
Throughout her life, Wendy danced into the hearts of all who knew her. Years spent dancing with friends were some of her most treasured memories. She had an unmatched passion for embracing life to the fullest. She enjoyed family beach vacations, camp weekends, boat rides with the beloved family
dog Maggie by her side, hosting holiday family gatherings, crawfish boils, and cheering for her Saints. When diagnosed with breast cancer, Wendy was determined to fight and was called “a warrior”. Her courage and faith in facing cancer inspired many. She will forever be remembered as a brave, kind, fun-loving and warm-hearted soul. Family and friends will be eternally grateful for the years God loaned Wendy to us. lieu of flowers, please consider donating to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Wendy’s name.
