Virginia Bowen Obituary

     Virginia Elizabeth Arrington Bowen passed away on January 25th, 2022 in Poquoson, Va. She was born on October 10, 1921 in Greensboro, N.C. to Edward Arrington and Thelma Virginia Arrington. She lived and went to school in Newport News, Va. and then to Greensboro College.  She later moved to the Charlottesville, Va. area and lived many years in Scottsville, Va.  
     She is survived by her son Fred W. Bowen, Jr., his spouse Carolyn Bowen, daughter Virginia K. Crawford, granddaughter Anne K. Buxton, and great grandson, Brandon Buxton, as well as dear friends Ethel Goode and Marge Wyatt of Scottsville.  
     Mother was very active as a volunteer for many causes as well as a nurse at UVa. She celebrated her 100th Birthday in style at the Scottsville School Apartments with what seemed like most of the town to observe that remarkable milestone.
