Elva Marie Bowens was a math superstar teacher and impacted students and teachers all over the Eastern Shore, throughout Maryland, and beyond. She made a difference - every day. She will be missed. I am so sorry for your loss.##imported-begin##Francis (Skip) Fennell##imported-end##
I met Elva approx. 4 years ago through my brother Roger Wright while he was a resident at the Crest House. I am so priveleged to have called her friend. It wasn't until Roger was in a serious car accident nearly 3 years ago that Elva and I really connected. Her unconditional love and sacraficial support impacted our lives forever. She was with us nearly every weekend while he was in the hospital in a coma, during the rehabilitation therapy, and when he finally came home a few months later. I could not have managed without her help! Roger would tell me that Elva was the only true friend he ever had and that meant so much to him to have a friend like her that stuck "closer than a brother" to him. Roger had been through his share of battles throughout his lifetime and Elva always sought to encourage him to rise about his struggles. Ultimately he did just that and in November, Roger was called Home to Heaven where he was reunited with our mother. He now has his very special friend Elva Bowens with him where they worship our most awesome God and Saviour. No more diabetes. No more struggles or pain. Until we meet again, I will miss you my dear friend Elva.##imported-begin##Ann Marie Rose ##imported-end##
Ms.Bowens was my Geometry teacher last year, and I loved her very much! She could always make me laugh or put a smile on my face! She was always willing to talk people through their problems. She will be sorely missed by all her friends and students! God bless and keep you all in your time of grief.##imported-begin##Joshua Harding##imported-end##

I went to Salisbury University with Elva. She was a wonderful friend. She helped me when I was a freshman at the college. Even back then she was a teacher at heart. She would proof my papers for me and help me with my writing. She never turned me down when I asked for help. I probably would have never would have made it through that first year without her help and guidance. She was a true friend. I am sure she will be missed by all of her students.##imported-begin##Gary Doss##imported-end##

You were an inspiration to not only your students, but also your co-workers and others you came into contact with. You will be deeply missed by us all.
