Ms. Mowry. What a super good manager. You tried so very hard when you worked for her. She looked after you and wasn't afraid to express her dissatisfaction with anything that displeased her. It was a pleasure working with her and I'd do it again.

Mrs. Mowry was a stern boss but with a sweet spirit. She was knew what she wanted and knew how to get it. A great leader for her baby (JC Penny’s). May her legacy be shown through all that grew to know her.

Ms. Mowry wasn't my first manager I worked for, and she wasn't the last. But she was the best. She was "hell on wheels" if you know what I mean. She got the job done and done well. Fifteen years I spent working that store. Hard work indeed. Everyone looked up to her. Everyone gave her the respect that she earned. Kind of like the Baltimore Ravens, a team she adorned. Hit 'em in mouth Ms. Mowry. Wow, what a loss.

Mrs. Mowry, was "Mama" to me. I went through a difficult time while working for her. Mama, was a honored nickname given to her because she helped me much like a mother would. She was a tough boss and a fair boss. I respected her very much. I send my prayers and condolences to her family.
