BOWERS, MELISSA K. Melissa K. Bowers, age 44, passed away peacefully on March 12, 2014 after a long illness with her loving family by her side. Melissa was a life long resident of Albuquerque. Melissa most recently worked for Direct Buy. She was known as a super sales person. Several times she ranked as the top, or near the top, sales person in the nation for that company. More important to Melissa was her relationship with her God, Jehovah. Everyone who came into contact with her soon found that out. She loved to share her hope in God's Kingdom with everyone she met. Melissa was baptized as one of Jehovah's Witnesses in 1984 and served her God faithfully right up to her last breath. She was preceded in death by her siblings Kimberly and Matthew Bowers. Melissa is survived by her parents Ron & Karin Bowers; Larry Mills; grandmother Thea Gallegos; brother Kenneth Bowers, his wife Courtney; brothers Patrick Bowers and Adrian Mills; niece Elizabeth Chavez; nephew Timothy Bowers; uncle Bob Bowers; Marian Davis, her husband Henry; Jasmine Briggs, her husband Rocky; many loving cousins and countless special friends. Melissa touched many lives with her love, spirit, and strength. Perhaps one of her most outstanding qualities was her generosity. She was always willing to lend a helping hand, no matter what circumstances she herself was in. She always looked for the best in others. She definitely affected the lives of those she touched. She will be greatly missed. Her confidence in the resurrection hope was strong to the very end. She was sustained by Martha's words to Jesus in the Bible at John 11:24 "I know he (I) will rise in the resurrection..." We look forward to that reunion. What a joyful day that will be! A memorial service will be held at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses, 6509 Signal NE, at 1:30 PM on Saturday, March 22, 2014.
