Corbin Bowser, Jr.

Having fought the good fight and keeping the faith, Corbin Bowser Jr. was received into the presence of His Savior on June 8th, 2026.  He was born on July 22, 1935, in Kittanning, to the late Corbin and Annie Bowser and was a lifelong resident of the area.  

He was a long time member of the Salvation Army church and attended Walkchalk Salem Baptist Church as well.  He was steadfast in his faith in Christ and was the spiritual pillar of his family.  He was known throughout the community for his work at the Salvation Army as well as his leadership in forming the Church Softball League.  He took great pride in his job as a rural mail carrier and truly enjoyed visiting with the people on his route.  As a lifelong Pirates fan, he never missed an opportunity to watch a game.
