I don’t know how many posters on here know her, but my best friend and lifelong Burnley fan Debbie Bowes passed away yesterday. We travelled the country together watching Burnley in those dark years of the 3rd and 4th division.

Sorry for your loss Reb.

So sorry Reb. I know how you must be feeling. I have recently lost two friends and have grave concerns about another. It's old advice but 'Remember the good times' is very sound.

Jesus that's a shock.She only came up in conversation with an old friend of mine over Xmas when we were reminiscing about the good old days following Burnley.

Such sad news.
Will never forget seeing her cruising in a convertible down the front at Scarborough when it felt like half of Burnley had gone to the match there.
Let's hope she's reunited with dear Kenny Mac and having a party in heaven.
RIP Debbie

Incredibly sad, especially since her partner Kenny passed away last year. I didn't know Debbie but Kenny Mac was one of the absolute best.

RIP

Reb. I didn't know the lady but I know that when you've lost a close friend its devastating. May I offer my sincere condolences.

Bloody hell remember her from the 80s. And didn't she defend a well-known Blackburn lad after the ambush at Darwen Station after the Bolton game?
That apart another Claret gone to soon.

RIP Debbie.

Daughter of Roland who used to own Burnley Tyre and Battery. Remember her from away games in the 80s. Sad news. RIP.

Name rings a bell from my school days ... from Rosehill area, age late 40s early 50s?

Our prayers are with you Reb

Debbie was 51, went to Walshaw and lived in Crawshaw Booth as a teenager. She worked with her parents who owned Burnley Tyre and Battery on Colne road. In later years she lived in Fence with Kenny McIllvenney who passed away in May last year.

Oh no. Bless her. A lovely girl who used to hang out with us. I’m sure she’d liked to be remembered as a top ‘dresser’, who travelled with the boys in the 80’s. RIP Deb. From a Clitheroe Claret. Give Humph and Gaz B my regards. X

Terrible news.

I hope you can find the strength to live without your friend, Reb.

RIP Debbie

Having those memories Reb of your dear friend are priceless.

I hope you still have a few friends to travel with.

Well 51 is no age and just makes this news even sadder

JimmyRobbo · Post by **JimmyRobbo** » Fri Jan 26, 2018 10:24 pm

Very sad to hear this if it is the girl from Rosehill area. Used to tease my brother about having a bit of a crush on her.
Did I see her in a programme as a kid as a match ball (or match day sponsor)? 80s. Can't honestly remember when.

Very sad indeed.

Sorry to hear this news Debbie was in the next bed to my mum at Blackburn Hospital over Christmas and got to know her lovely family, she looked very poorly but still had a lovely smile and was much loved by her family, unfortunately my mum also passed away last Friday...my thoughts are with her family and friends xx
