I am so sorry for the Cowan family and Marlys' passing. I never knew Marlys but my mother spoke of her often as they both attended OHS in Ottumwa, IA. My mother liked her and her name so much that she gave me the same name. My mother's name is Jacqueline Reno Breon.

Sending condolences to the entire Cowan family on the loss of their sweet Mother, Grandmother, and Great Grandmother. We remember our chats at the Captain's Table years ago, and she always shared stories about her kids with us. She will be missed by all who knew her. With God's blessings,

Our sincere condolences to Michelle, Bill, Jill,and their extended families on the loss of their mother. Mrs Cowan was always the welcoming hostess to all of her children's friends growing up! Thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Mrs Cowan was always so welcoming!! She was like a second mother and helped give me understanding of some of the challenges in my life!! Hugs to all on the family!@
I loved Marlys so very much and will think of her every day and miss her so much. We had so very many meaningful conversations. They always included updates about her family. Her family has always been her number one priority. She had a generous and wonderful heart and we shared so many times too numerous to list. I am thankful for the memories and she will be in my heart forever.
My love to her wonderful family and may God bless each one of you. I know you will find peace through your memories.
