SHELDON G. BOWSER, 69, of Chicora, Pa. passed away Friday at 12:15 PM at Butler Memorial Hospital following a lengthy illness. Born in Bruin, Pa. on Jan. 2, 1944, he was the son of the late Frank P. and Edna Rodgers Bowser. He was married to the former P. Colette Master on Oct. 21, 1967, and they would have celebrated their forty-sixth anniversary in three days. Sheldon graduated from Fairview Township-Karns City School District with the class of 1961. He was a lifelong member of the Bruin United Methodist Church. Sheldon served his country during the Viet Nam era with the United States Navy. He served active duty from Sept. 1961 to Dec. 1964. He worked in nuclear weapons, and was honorably discharged with the rank of Petty Officer Third Class. He did carrier duty throughout much of Europe, and he was discharged from active duty having served on the carrier USS Enterprise. He retired from A-K Steel at the Butler operation following thirty seven years of service. He and Colette had travelled throughout the entire United States, including the states of Alaska and Hawaii, and had travelled extensively throughout much of Europe. In addition to a zest for travel, he and his wife were both avid golfers. They followed the links to many areas of the country from Pa. and Ohio to the Carolinas and Arizona, and beyond. He was a longtime member of the Armco Country Club (now Oakview), and over the years belonged to many leagues, both couples and men's leagues. In addition to his wife Colette, he is survived by one brother, Kenneth Bowser of North Carolina, and several nieces and nephews. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a sister, Glenda Bowser Hindman in 1990. At Sheldon's request, all arrangements are private, with private burial at Old Annandale Cemetery at Boyers, Pa. In lieu of flowers, the family requests any memorials be made to the Pulmonary Fibrosis Assn. or the American Heart Assn. at the chapter of donor's choice.
