Margot Bartnik/Bowman, resident of Our Lady of Victory Nursing Home of Bourbonnais was called home to our Lord on Thursday October 20th, 2016. Her devotion to love, family, and uncompromising belief in God supported her in her life, and ultimately gave her much needed peace when she needed it most.

She is preceded in death by her sister Irene Wikel, Husband George Bartnik and Husband Edward Bowman, and infant granddaughter's twins Terese and Rebecca Bartnik. Margot lived a life that is worth remembering as her love of Family, God, and Life were always front and center. She had a passion for not only for her sons, grandchildren, great grandchildren, but for all types of life especially animals. Her passion for life was powerful and without compromise. With her hobbies of traveling, photography, and theater she created memories not only for herself but for her entire family.
