Barbara Cowan

July 23, 1937 — June 20, 2022

Ewing

Jane Story Cowan, 84 of Ewing, Kentucky, passed away Monday evening, June 20, 2022, at her home in Ewing after an extended illness. She was born July 23, 1937, in Ewing to the late Kenneth Dudley Story and Geneva Blake Barnett.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Bill Cowan, grandson Jeremy Dye, brothers, Jerry Story and Robert Bevins, brother-in-law, Gordon (Gladys) Cowan and son-in-law, Robert Garrison.

Survivors include her daughter, Cynthia Garrison of Flemingsburg, Kentucky, her son Billy Cowan and his wife Tammy of Ewing, grandson, Isaac Carpenter of Maysville, Kentucky, sister-in-law, Loree Bevins of Ewing, nephew Terry Cowan and his wife Molly of Mason County, Kentucky as well as many extended family members and friends.

In her early adult years, Jane used her talents as a seamstress to make doll clothes for youngsters and wedding dresses for soon-to-be brides. In addition, she served as caretaker for many of the neighborhood children while their parents worked. She was an avid genealogist, spending countless years researching her family history as well as assisting others in their searches.

Jane was an active member of the Ewing Baptist Church where she faithfully served as a WMU member, GA leader and mentor to others, until physical conditions prohibited her from doing so. In her later years she enjoyed scrapbooking and making and sending homemade cards, which she considered her ministry.
