Tiffany Laca Bowden

April 10, 1994 – September 16, 2026

Tiffany Laca Bowden passed away on September 16, 2026, at the age of 32.

Tiffany was a dreamer, traveler, reader, and beautiful creative spirit. She found joy in Aikido, Japanese and Celtic culture, books, arts and crafts, the outdoors, her beloved cats, and the meaningful connections she formed as a pen pal. With a curious heart and vivid imagination, she saw beauty and possibility in the world around her.

Thoughtful, selfless, and deeply compassionate, Tiffany often placed the needs of others before her own. She loved wholeheartedly and cared deeply for the people in her life. Though she had a gentle heart, she was also strong in her convictions. When it mattered most, Tiffany became a voice in the silence—never afraid to speak up against injustice or unfairness and always willing to stand beside someone who needed an advocate.

Her love for her son, **Vincent **, was one of the greatest joys of her life. Tiffany and Vincent shared many special memories together, from playing video games and visiting Bass Pro Shops to camping and traveling to Canada. These adventures, big and small, reflected the joy, laughter, and closeness they shared.

She is survived by her son Vincent Wulfric Davis, her significant other, Brandon Elkins; her mother, Laca Eileen Densmore, and step-father, Robert Densmore; her father, Timmy Lee Bowden, and his significant other, Virginia Smith; her step-mother, Julie Bowden; and her siblings, Timberlie Wright, Timothy Bowden, Trent Merrill, and Michael Gundy.

Tiffany was preceded in death by her grandfather, Carl Bowden; her sister, Angel M. Densmore; and her brother, Carl E. Bowden.

She also leaves behind numerous aunts, uncles, grandparents, cousins, extended family members, and dear friends who loved her and whose lives were touched by hers.

Tiffany will be remembered for her kindness, creativity, courage, curiosity, and the extraordinary depth of her love. She had a way of making people feel seen, heard, and cared for. Her presence brought warmth to the lives of those around her, and her memory will continue to live on in the stories shared, the lessons she taught, and the love she gave so freely.

Though her time here was far too short, Tiffany’s life mattered deeply. The love she shared and the memories she created will remain forever in the hearts of everyone who knew her.

She is off on her next adventure.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Wednesday, September 23, 2026 at 3:30 PM at Herman H. Lohmeyer Funeral Home in Springfield, Missouri.
