James Ellis "Jimmy" Bowen, Jr.
September 16, 1938- January 12, 2022

James Ellis "Jimmy" Bowen, Jr., 83, a lifelong resident of Calvert County passed away January 12, 2022 at his home surrounded by family. He was preceded in death by his parents James Ellis and Ruth (Asbury) Bowen and his brother Sidney "Sam" Bowen. He was born September 16, 1938 in Prince Frederick and graduated from Calvert High School in 1956. He married Patricia Magrath in 1963 and they built their home on the family farm. Jimmy was a member of the United States National Guard, Prince Frederick Lions Club, Prince Frederick Volunteer Fire Department, Masons, Order of the Eastern Star, and Trinity United Methodist Church. Jimmy owned and operated Bowen's Lawn and Garden for many years, worked as a farmer, crabber, several constructions jobs, served as a District Court Commissioner in Calvert County as well as various sales positions. Jimmy had a love for Calvert County and all the things that come with Calvert County. He especially enjoyed quail hunting, fishing, and being on the water. He was a competitive baseball player in his youth and played several seasons at the University of Maryland. Jimmy also enjoyed softball and playing golf.

Jimmy is survived by his loving wife Patricia Bowen, children Lisa Collins and her husband Bruce of Sunderland, Steven Bowen and his wife Wendy of Huntingtown, and Christopher Bowen and his wife Larisa of Evergreen, CO, grandchildren David, Gregory, and Shelby Collins, Victoria and Hannah Bowen, and Oliver and Evelyn Bowen, great-grandchildren Liam and Emily Collins, sisters-in law Bette Bowen and Sheila Davison (Glenn), and brothers-in-law John Magrath (Jeri) and Jimmy Magrath (Rita).

The family would like to thank Huntingtown United Methodist Men's Club for building a ramp at Jimmy's home which allowed him to get out of the house to not only attend doctor's appointments but to go for rides around the county to watch the water in his final days. In lieu of flowers, donations in Jimmy's name may be made to Huntingtown United Methodist Men's Club so that they may continue to build ramps for other people in our community. (Donations can be sent to PO Box 550 Huntingtown, MD 20639) Donations may also be made to Calvert Hospice.
