February 12, 1942 – April 14, 2023
Steven Frank Sowers, 81, Noblesville, passed away on April 14, 2023, at his home.
He was born on February 12, 1942, in Noblesville to Howard and Ruthella (Bowman) Sowers. He was preceded in death by his parents and his beloved wife, Jo Lynn (McKinley) Sowers.
Steve and Jo Lynn began upholstering furniture for family and friends that morphed into Sowers Upholstery Shop. Their locations were on Main Street in Arcadia and west of Cicero. Due to an illness, Jo Lynn could no longer work in their shop, so they decided to close it. Steve then worked for a few years as Warehouse Manager at Noblesville Schools.
Steve also liked to restore old cars, then drive them for a while before selling them. He also liked to attend car shows and watch NASCAR races. He loved to watch college football, game shows, and work on crossword puzzles.
Surviving him is a daughter, Sara Rasmussen of North Carolina; sons, Jack Coonce of Coatesville, Pa., and Scott Coonce of Arizona; stepdaughters, Donna Craig of Anderson, Ind., Dianna Miller of Marion, Ind., and Debra Thatcher of Noblesville; plus several grandchildren.
A Celebration of Life will occur from noon to 4 p.m. on April 28, 2023, at Red Bridge Park Community Building in Cicero. Burial will be at Cicero Cemetery.
