Aalyiah Nicole Bowen

Aalyiah Nicole Bowen, 22, of Corning is now walking and talking in the streets of heaven. Her beautiful soul left its earthly body in the afternoon hours of Tuesday, March 9, 2021 surrounded by her loving family.

Her parents spent a lifetime being sure that Aalyiah was wrapped in joy, her innocent love is and will be deeply missed.
