Barbara Bowdle Korte

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the death of our mother and wife, Barbara Korte, who left us on August 12, 2024, after a beautifully lived life at age 89.  She was born November 21, 1934, in Stigler, Oklahoma to parents Carl and Vera.

Barbara was full of love, laughter, and resilience, she touched the lives of all who knew her.

Throughout her life, Barbara loved traveling, including Alaska, Caribbean, and Central America.  She loved reading, participating in her church, and exercising at the Plano Recreation Center.

Barbara is survived by her loving husband of 28 years, Clem Korte; her children Bill Bowdle, Brenda Bowdle, Bryan Bowdle, Beverly Bowdle; stepchildren, Terri Machin, Jennifer Bush, Rebecca Kaufman, Carolyn Atterberry, and Clem Korte Jr; and 13 grandchildren; and 14 great grandchildren.

To commemorate her incredible journey and to celebrate the love she spread, a memorial service will be held in her honor at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church on Wednesday, August 28, 2024, at 11:00 a.m., officiated by Rev. Bruce Bradley.  We invite all who knew her to join us in remembering a truly remarkable woman.  Reception following in church hall.
