Lorrita D. (Bowen) Godwin, 87, of Peru, passed away at 8:43 AM, Thursday, April 30, 2026, at Ascension St. Vincent, Kokomo. She was born in Peru, IN on January 15, 1939, the daughter of Willis and Glodene (Bowyer) Bowen.

Lorrita was a 1957 graduate of Bunker Hill High School and worked at the Siding in Peru for over 20 years. She was an avid gardener who always had different plants and flowers around her house. She enjoyed working on little projects to keep busy. Lorrita was a huge Indiana Pacers fan, often screaming for “her boys” through the TV whenever a game was on.

Family was deeply important to Lorrita. Known as “Grandma Great”, spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren made her feel truly blessed. She also had a soft spot in her heart for animals, often taking in strays and giving them a home.

Lorrita is survived by her children Gail (Mike) Nordenbrock of Crawfordsville, Gwyn Armstrong of Galveston; grandchildren Krystal (AJ) Rice, Ryan Nordenbrock, Cory Nordenbrock, Kaitlyn Nordenbrock, Michael Nordenbrock, Cameron Nordenbrock, Khiya Armstrong, Alex (Renae) Godwin, Stephanie Knots and Scott Godwin; great-grandchildren Aiden Rice, Makena Rice, Makenzie Rice, Kaiden Rice, Tyler Godwin, Olivia Godwin, Lily Godwin, Cody Godwin, and Astrid Godwin; and siblings Sherriel Bowen, Kevin Bowen, and Duaine Bowen. She was preceded in death by her parents, a son Greg Godwin, grandchildren Dustin Armstrong, Taryn Armstrong, and Krysta Godwin and siblings Bud Montgomery and Beverly Bowen.

Per the family’s wishes, a private visitation will be held at a later date. Burial will be in the Albright Cemetery, Kokomo.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made through the funeral home to the Scratching Post Cat Rescue.
