She was united in marriage to Lloyd (Goober) Chowning on April 23, 1961 at the Assembly of God Church in Mountain View. They enjoyed 53 years of marriage and loved their time together.
She was preceded in death by her parents Charles and Venita Henry; one brother Estel Henry and one sister-in-law Eula Mae Henry.
She is survived by her husband Lloyd (Goober) Chowning of Mountain View, MO; her brothers-in-law Kenneth Chowning and wife Ernestine, Lester Chowning and wife Jeanie, and Leo Chowning and wife Faye; one sister-in-law Darlene Chowning-Wilson and husband Earl, and a host of other family and friends.
Mickey attended Mountain View High School and loved playing the trumpet in the Mountain View High School Band and singing in the school choir. After graduating in 1960 she worked at various jobs during her lifetime. She worked at Bolerjack Drug, Duncan Funeral Home, Dr. M.C. Walton's office, Hometown Insurance (formerly Owens Insurance), OMC Riverways, and the OMC clinic in Mountain View with Dave McVicker, the OMC clinic in Winona, and with Dr. Crown in West Plains.
Mickey was an active member of Chapel Hill Baptist Church in Mountain View, MO. She was the song leader, Sunday school teacher, a youth group leader, and worked at the church camp for over 20 years. Mickey played in the church softball league, and spent many years singing at different churches and organizations.
She saw beauty in all of nature and loved being outdoors. Remember church softball games and treks to the river in "old red?" So many evenings spent around a campfire, just enjoying family and friends.
Mickey had a special place in her heart for Muffy, the stray kitten that found a forever home with her and Goober eleven years ago. Mickey and Goober spent time in Branson, enjoying music shows, and Silver Dollar City. Mickey loved shopping with Goober patiently waiting for her to find the perfect outfit. She was an avid Cardinal fan, and loved watching the team on TV with Goober.
Mickey had a passion for helping people she enjoyed planning parties and get together for family and friends. She was always fit to jump in and help with anything that needed done, joyful or sad.
Mickey fought a good fight to be here for her family and friends. She was always a good listener and had words of peace and encouragement for everyone. She touched many lives in many different circumstances
Mickey, we will try not to grieve – we know you re truly home now. We can only imagine the joy, peace and good health you have at this very moment. We love you and we will miss you. Your nieces and nephews– Marsha, Donna, Linda, Travis, Mike, Charlene, Kevin, John, Velda, and Derrick. [duncanfuneralhome.com]
