Carol Hertz Bowman
OBITUARY
Carol Hertz Bowman, 84, of Wyomissing, passed away on August 3, 2026 at Reading Hospital. Born in Pittsburgh, she was the daughter of Walter Mann and Anna Elizabeth (Bock) Hertz. Carol was the loving spouse of Glenn R. Bowman with whom she shared 65 years of marriage.
Carol was a 1959 graduate of J. P. McCaskey High School. She continued her education at Susquehanna University, where she met the love of her life, her husband. Carol devoted herself to family and to being a homemaker, lovingly caring for her husband, children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. She created a warm, welcoming home for family and friends.
Carol will be remembered for her joyful spirit and meaningful relationships with family and friends. She enjoyed spending time in her garden, and was the real deal when it came to being a homemaker. Carol possessed an innate ability to share her feelings and thoughts through notes and letters. But most importantly, she was the glue that held her family together and for that she will be deeply missed.
In addition to her husband, Carol is survived by her sons, G. Timothy Bowman (Deborah T.), of Belmont, MA, and Andrew Hertz Bowman (Judy L.), of Wyomissing, PA. She will be deeply missed by her grandchildren: Emily Lauren Bowman (Christopher S. Bayers), Alexa Rae Bowman, Jonah Glenn Bowman (Carolyn Ann), and Andrew Timothy Bowman. Also surviving are her great grandchildren: Ethan Christopher Bowman Bayers and Walter Glenn Bowman, as well as her siblings, W. Christopher Hertz (Tracy A.) and Susan Hertz Stoudt.
Carol was predeceased by her parents and her brother-in-law, Kenneth Gordon Stoudt.
