JENNIE SUE (BOWMAN) PEETERS

     Jennie Sue (Bowman) Peeters, 47, passed away unexpectedly Nov. 2, 2024, at her home. Jennie was born June 14, 1977, to Jay Bowman and Valerie (DeGroot) Bowman. She was a 1995 graduate of Lincoln High in Alma Center, WI. Jennie was united in marriage to Andrew Peeters Aug. 30, 2003. She went on to earn her master’s degree in guidance and counseling in 2008. She was proud to have finished the 2019 Eau Claire Marathon. She was active in Boy Scout Troop 50 as an assistant scoutmaster. She donated her kidney, so another person might have a better and longer life. She was employed by United Health Care as a claims representative. Her “boys” were the center of her life, and she loved her newest role as a doting grandma. She was at peace working in her garden and had developed a new-found love for canning.
