Cloma Gaye (Lewis) Bowlin, 81, of Springport, passed away unexpectedly on the morning of Thursday, January 2, 2020, in Morehead, Kentucky. She was born on September 29, 1938 in Rowan County, KY, a daughter of the late Sidney Clay and Elva Lorene (Richardson) Lewis. Cloma moved to the Muncie area in 1958 and worked for Owen’s Illinois and then worked in quality control for Ball Brothers/Alltrista in Muncie for 30 years before retiring. She was “Head Pres” of The Maxine Club, a group made up of her dear friends: Linda Bowlin, Connie Bowlin, Traci McCormick, Glenda Pitman, Sherry Raby, and Shannon Hall. Cloma would faithfully meet with her “dinner group” once per week enjoying a meal and fellowship with her dear friends, Bonnie, Billie Jean, and Sallie. She attended the Blountsville Christian Church and helped with the food drives for the church. Cloma was very outgoing and loved meeting new people. She especially loved rewarding children for their good behavior at restaurants by giving them a dollar bill.
