Mrs. Fowler was born June 5, 1941, in Telfair County and had lived in Jones County most of her life. She was the daughter of the late Chester Douglas and Eva Faye Powell Douglas.

She was a respected former member of the Napier Avenue Church of God for many years. She shared the Gospel on a monthly basis for forty plus years at Lynn Haven and Gray (Autumn Lane) nursing homes.

She was most recently a part of the Christ Community Chapel family.
Mrs. Fowler was a retired life long cosmetologist and loved to collect all things "butterfly." She was affectionately known as "Gran" to both family and "adopted" family. She was devoted to her family becoming the matriarch of the Fowler Family after the death of her husband Clifton in 1989. She was deeply loved and respected by all who knew her.
