Linda Bowles, the firebrand conservative nationally syndicated columnist known for her razor-sharp rhetoric, has died at the age of 51, just a year after her beloved husband, Warren, succumbed to brain cancer.

Bowles quit writing her column in February 2002 so she could take care of her dying husband and so they could spend together whatever time he had remaining.
Her poignant last column, titled “The man I love,” explained it all.
“The only thing he didn’t teach me was how to live without him,” she wrote.
Bowles died April 30, her only child, Michelle, said yesterday.
“After the loss of her beloved husband-hero Warren in May of 2002, (my mother) suffered from severe depression that she never overcame,” said Michelle Bowles. “The coroner’s report will tell you she purposely overdosed on antidepressants. The reality is she died due to complications of the heart. If you knew Linda, you knew her beloved Warren. To say she had a weak or failed heart would be untrue. To say she suffered from a broken heart would be an understatement.”
Out of respect for her last wishes, no memorial will be held.
