Lindsay Marie Bowerman

1984 ~ 2025

Lindsay Marie Bowerman, beloved daughter, sister, cousin, aunt, and best friend, passed peacefully from this life on July 4th, 2025, surrounded by family. 

Lindsay was born on May 20, 1984, in Fountain Valley California, to Richard and Lisa Bowerman, and is the third of six children. She is survived by her parents, siblings Chris (Amanda) Bowerman, Katie (Joseph) Brewer, Marshall (Chellie) Bowerman, and Sarah (David) Arrott, as well as her eight adoring nieces and nephews: Claire, Caleb, Evalyn, Wesley, and Hazel Brewer, and Lorenzo, Watson, and Franklin Bowerman. She was preceded in death by her sister Amy, and her grandparents and several aunts and uncles. 

Lindsay spent much of her early life in multiple locations in the state of California and then graduated high school in Washington state. Her family moved often due to her father’s work. She valued experiencing as much of the world as possible, and loved time spent in the water, twirling the baton, playing the piano, and creating all sorts of adventures with friends. Lindsay was a natural leader, and her siblings have all looked up to her throughout their lives. She attended three different high schools, making lifelong friends at every stop. Despite the challenges that come with moving so often, the connections and ever-increasing circle of friends have been great sources of strength and joy in her life. 

Lindsay was known for her love of color and design and graduated from BYU-Idaho in 2007 with her BFA degree, moving to Utah shortly after. As a graphic designer, she made a mark in the scrapbooking industry with her brilliant work. Her deep love of creating and finding joy in the design of every little thing never ceased, and she was still ordering markers in the last months of her life…because you can never have enough markers! Lindsay had a special knack for gift-giving; she was so good at knowing just what might delight the receiver. Antiquing is a way of life in Lindsay’s extended family, and she was expert at finding the best trinkets and décor. She loved how antiquing brought generations together.  

Lindsay has always been confident in knowing what she liked (Scalloped edges! Stained glass! Sweet patterns! Brownies and ice cream!) and avoiding things she didn’t (tomatoes and beans! Being awkward! Comic sans fonts!). She had a way of recognizing the potential in others, and loved helping those around her achieve their goals. She dreamed of one day owning her own curated goods boutique and creating fabric lines, which is no surprise given that she delighted in bringing a smile to every face. 

Lindsay relished her role as aunt to her nieces and nephews. The day she became an aunt changed her very soul, bringing her a new source of joy every minute since. Lindsay often talked about each of them as if they were her own and was always scheming ways to adventure with them, often sending them unexpected little gifts, and spending hours each week Facetiming with them. Aunt Lin-Lin is a cherished part of their lives and lives on in each of them. 

Lindsay loved exploring the world with her friends and family. There was hardly a time when she didn't have a trip on her calendar to look forward to. Consecrated moments with her family and friends were the most precious commodity in her life, and creating lasting memories for her loved ones filled her with joy. She especially loved showing up unexpectedly and always at just the right moment. She loved the thrill of little surprises, and she was enamored with snail mail. It was common practice for her to write out and mail postcards on trips, send sweet packages for birthdays and holidays, and mail handmade cards because it was Tuesday and she wanted you to know she loves you. 

Lindsay was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. She especially loved working with the Young Women in her church community…watching them bloom brought her so much joy. Up until late in her cancer journey, she continued to serve often and wherever she could, including regular temple attendance which she sought to do often and with as many people as possible. Lindsay loves her Savior, and her life is a testament to her deeply held testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Her leaders and ward members became such dear friends and mentors, always making her feel like a part of their families. 

The last four and a half years of her life were marked by her Stage 4 colon cancer diagnosis, but that never stopped her from making the most of her circumstances. Just prior to her diagnosis, she had completed a UX/UI program, continuing to use her knowledge and skills towards her next steps in life. She continued to serve, traveled as often as she could between courses of treatment and surgeries to be with friends and to visit family, and she recently began pursuing an MBA. Her brief times in between treatments were times of great anticipation for the future. 

Becoming part of the cancer community was not on Lindsay’s life plan, but she never stopped sharing her gratitude for her literal team of doctors, who extended her life many times over. Every doctor, nurse, and therapist who was part of her care team became dear friends. Her journey was always filled with hope, and the miracles she witnessed never ceased. One of the greatest miracles was the constant outpouring of love–friends and family the world over showing up in every way imaginable is a testament to the kind of person Lindsay was: she lived with purpose, love, light, and gratitude, and created beauty in every corner of her life.

Lindsay’s family wishes to express their gratitude for every member of her care team and all who work within the cancer community. She would often say, “How did I get so lucky?!”  You created a unique group of caregivers critical to saving and extending her precious life – saying thank you will never be enough. 

All who know Lindsay, also share a heartfelt thank you to Lindsay’s number one caregiver, her patient, present, and persistent mother. Lisa was by Lindsay’s side at every moment during her journey. There does not exist a sentiment that sufficiently expresses our gratitude. A more Christlike love would be hard to find, and we are all in awe of what she has graciously endured in taking care of our girl.
