Notes From The Council Deb Bowman believed in the magic of Chebeague. She often commented that the island provided in its own way, in its own time. Deb was part of Chebeague’s magic; she was generous, fierce, passionate, and brilliant. From the helm of the library counter, or more often from the back office, she helped all of us navigate our own lives and make sense of our shared world.

In losing Deb, the Chebeague Island Council loses a grand champion. She served on the Board for 15+ years and served as President twice. She embodied the mission of the Council through her service to the community and her love of this place. She gave gifts in abundance: prayer flags, aprons, meals, and potholders; however, her true gifts were conversations in which her wicked intellect and wit would offer a new

perspective, hysterical laughter, or the shedding of tears. We at the Council offer our sincerest condolences to Marguerite, Cooper, Eliza, and Betsy. We look forward to celebrating Deb’s life together -- to listen to the music and the stories that will carry us along in her wake.
