Obituary for Dianne C. Bowen

Dianne Bowen was born on October 18,1945 to the late Bertha Lesser. Dianne Bowen took her last journey to her final resting place on March 9, 2025.

Dianne was a lifelong resident of Boston, Massachusetts. Dianne Bowen was an amazing, beautiful woman. She was pure love which she gave freely and in abundance to her family and friends. Dianne was a loving wife, partner, daughter, sister, and aunt to her beloved niece Jamika Lesser and her great nieces Inaia Dailey and IIeya Lesser-JB as well as her great nephew MJ-JB! Dianne spent every Saturday with her mother helping with chores and weekly meal preparation. She said her mother was her first best friend and she was blessed to spend time with her every week.

Dianne did not have biological children, yet she was a mother figure to many young people both men and women throughout her life. She was a second mother to her niece Jamika whom she adored and helped her sister raise. Dianne also developed deep and life-long-lasting friendships. As close family members and friends know, we could always look forward to receiving a special card from Dianne for every holiday and on your birthday. She was a long-term employee of Todd and Weld, LLP of Boston and was committed to her work and enjoyed being a member of the law firm. Throughout her career she was known for her hard work, compassion, and friendly demeanor.

Dianne is survived by her beloved niece Jamika Lesser, great nieces Inaia Dailey and Ileya Lesser-JB, great nephew MJ-JB, and Craig Brooks. She was proceeded by her mother Bertha Lesser, late husband Edgar Bowen, partner James Brooks, sister Faith Lesser, brothers Michael Lesser and Marcus Lesser. Her love is everlasting and lives on in everyone she touched in life. We will miss her signature beehive hairstyle and singsong greeting of “Hi Dear!”

Visiting Hours will be held on April 4th from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at Dolan Funeral Home, 1140 Washington Street, DORCHESTER LOWER MILLS. A Prayer Service will begin at 4:00 pm.

    I am saddened to hear of Dianne's passing. I worked with Dianne at Todd & Weld for several years before her retirement. She greeted the firm's clients with a comforting smile and made them feel immediately at ease. Dianne helped create memorable parties at the firm especially during the holidays. What I'll remember the most about Dianne is her wit. She could make a frown turn upside down with just a look. Every time I think of Dianne, I'll have a smile on my face. Rest in peace my friend.
