My name is Patience and I am Zoe’s cousin.

On July 22nd, 2025, the world lost someone so special- Zoelee Rene Bowen. At the age of 22 years old. She leaves behind two beautiful babies who meant the entire world to her. We’re in shock. As everyone knows, our family might be dysfunctional and messy, but through all the hardship, we stick together. Especially the cousins.

The funeral home informed us today that we have five days to figure out what we’re doing. So we thought we would come here and see if anyone else could help us.

We want to have a viewing and do a cremation service. We know that’s what Zoe would want.

We understand money is tight for everyone so if all you can do is share this post, we would be entirely grateful for that.

All money that is donated will go directly to this cost of this and anything extra (if there is anything) will go to getting the kids some new clothes and whatever else they need.

The hardest part of this all is having to explain to two babies that their mama is never coming home. If you haven’t experienced this, we hope you never have to.

Please send love and prayers to the family as we navigate through this awful time. Please give space and time as we figure out all the next steps.

Thank you!
