Kenneth Lee Bowers

Kenneth Lee Bowers, age 82, of Maryville passed away December 29, 2021, at Blount Memorial Hospital. He served in the Army in the early 60’s and retired from Oak Ridge Y-12 several years ago. He was a devoted loving husband, wonderful father, and awesome papaw. He loved his family with all his heart and soul. He was a friend you could always depend on when you called upon him for help. He had a rough two and a half years as he never recovered from the loss of his “Precious” Barbara. He talked daily of how much he missed her. Though we are heartbroken and sad, we know happiness now fills his heart as he is reunited with “HIS” Precious Barbara and is dancing a jig (as he would say). There is no better place to be reunited with your loved one than in heaven with our Lord and Savior. He is preceded in death by his precious wife, Barbara Bowers; parents, Charles and Bessie Cain Bowers; sister, Helen Webb; brother, Larry Bowers.

He is survived by daughter and son-in-law, Debbie and Bob Wake of Germantown, TN; son and daughter-in-law, Rick and Khadija Bowers of Knoxville; beloved grandchildren, Ismail and wife, Yousra Bowers of Ohio, Zaynab Bowers, Ahmed Bowers and Fatima Bowers of Knoxville; sister and brother-in-law, Carolyn and Randy Green of Georgia; several nieces and nephews.

You are welcome to visit McCammon-Ammons-Click Funeral Home on Sunday, January 2, 2022, between 8:00 AM-4:00 PM to pay your respects.
