Betty Jean Cowan

Services will be held on Thursday, 10:00am April 5, 2012 at Calvary Baptist Church at South Monaco and East Hampden in Denver. Private interment will take place at Ft. Logan Cemetery at a later date.

Jean was born July 12, 1930 in Grapeland, Texas to Warren C. Baker and Imogene (Gillespie) Baker. She was raised in Grapeland through high school and then attended East Texas Baptist College in Marshall, TX. She met Robert “Ted” Cowan in San Antonio, Texas and they married February 15, 1956. They relocated to Denver, CO where she raised two daughters and worked as a legal secretary.

She was a member of PEO Chapter CN, the Aurora Legal Secretaries Association, Opti-Mrs and was an active member of Calvary Baptist Church. She enjoyed quilting, sewing and scrapbooking. She created many wonderful quilts and scrapbooks that her family will always treasure. She especially loved spending time with her family and taking many trips with her husband. She lived vicariously through her grandchildren as her health deteriorated and in the last few years she delighted in spending time with her great grandchild Landon.

She is survived by her husband, daughter Tina (Jay) Wagner, Stevens Point, WI, grandchildren Danny (Nikki), Wade, Alex, and Kylie, one great grandchild, Landon, and a brother Darrell in Lufkin, TX and her Aunt Loyetta of TX. She is preceded in death by her parents and her daughter Teri.

The family would like to send special thanks to the ICU staff at The Medical Center of Aurora for their loving care of Jean in her final days.
