Mrs. Fowler will be truly missed by all. She took care of "HER" kids while she was a Coach, Commissioner, and Board Member. She even took care of the 'Officials" when they needed it. She always put her kids first before anything. Granville County will be hard pressed to try and fill her shoes.

You will missed by many, I enjoyed the time we spent together on the softball fields. Started when Brittany was 6 at Northside and we signed up late and you said that was fine and then put us on Tobin's team. You did so much for the SGAA and it will never be the same without you. Rest in peace my dear sweet lady.
