Margaret “Margo” Bowerly
July 19, 1923 – Cebruary 5, 2017
Margaret “Margo” Bowerly
passed away Feb. 5, 2017.
Margaret was born to John
and Frieda Zieg who emi-
grated in 1918 from Frank-
furt Germany to Colfax, Wash.
John came fi rst to buy a farm
and get things set up, then
Frieda joined him and they got
married.
Margo was born on July 19,
1923, and two years later her
brother Albert was born. Her
German heritage was always an
important part of her life. She
attended Laurelhurst Elemen-
tary and Grant High School.
In the summer, Margo at-
tended Hastings Business Col-
lege. After graduating, she got a
job at Hyster Co. who manu-
factured war equipment. As a
receptionist and bookkeeper,
she worked evenings until 10
p.m.
One evening a young man
convinced a security guard
to allow him in to fi ll work
orders. Once the door was
opened, he spied Margaret
working as the receptionist. A
lifetime romance began that
evening. Jerry, a dental student,
was also working nights for
Hyster.
Margaret had to walk two
blocks to the nearest street-
car after work, so Jerry rode
his bike next to it each night
so she had an escort. Often he
had one hand on his bike and
the other holding her hand.
They were married on
March 4, 1944, at the Evangeli-
cal Reformed Church in Port-
land, and remained married for
more than 72 years. They had
four children: David Bowerly
(deceased), Judy Luse, Ronald
Bowerly and Laura Heiman.
They have nine grandchildren
and nine great-grandchildren.
Jerry and Margo settled in
Keizer after time in California
during Jerry’s stinit with the
U.S. Navy. Jerry was the fi rst
dentist in Keizer and they lived
here for more than 60 years.
Margo became the book-
keeper for Jerry’s dental offi ce
and managed the Fernwood
Court Apartment complex
they built and owned in Keiz-
er. She stayed busy raising her
family, attending neighbor-
hood luncheon club, church
service activities and knitting
over 100 hats for orphans and
relatives. She loved tole paint-
ing, quilting, knitting and gar-
dening as well as cooking and
entertaining. A love for music
stayed with her through play-
ing the organ and piano.
Margo and Jerry’s retire-
ment years were spent travel-
ing with friends, enjoying their
condo at Black Butte Ranch
and spending time with the
family. While camping with
family, hugs and snacks were
passed out freely and many
games of cards and tile rummy
were played.
Margo’s deep faith sustained
her throughout her life and be-
came a major example impact-
ing the lives of her relatives.
She had a grateful and giving
heart. She attended church her
whole life and most recently at
Salem Evangelical Church.
Services for Margaret will
be on Saturday, March 4, at 10
a.m. at Keizer Funeral Chapel.
Donations in lieu of fl owers
can be sent to Franklin Gra-
ham Samaritan’s Purse at PO
Box 3000, Boone, NC 28607.
