Irma Rose Bowers, 84, of Cheyenne left this world to start a new journey on Oct. 12.
Born July 22, 1923, in Wheeling, W.Va., Irma was the youngest of four children. Her parents died when she was very young and she was raised by her brothers.
She married, had three children with her husband, Howard, and lived many places.

Irma loved the water and sharing her passion with others. In addition to swimming and water exercise, Irma liked to take walks in the park, hike, workout at the gym, photography, paint, play cards with her family, spend time with friends and travel. Despite all her efforts, a body eventually breaks down, but Irma's spirit lives on. Whether in the water or out she always made a splash in peoples' lives.
She was a member of Zion and the Congregational Church. She belonged to the Venture Travel Club and received various awards for her accomplishments as a swim instructor and student at LCCC.
