She received her secondary education at Saint Mary's Dominican High School in New Orleans, for which she has been Alumnae Coordinator and Alumnae Association vice president and later became Alum of the Year, an honor bestowed for lifetime achievement and promoting the fundamentals of the school.

Bowler (born April 2, 1948). They are Roman Catholic.While in the House, she earned the nickname \"The Black Widow\" for being the person most likely to kill a colleague's bill. During her last term in office, having accepted the nickname, she purchased 50 gold plated \"Black Widow\" pins and gave them out to legislators who unknowingly killed a bill that she deemed necessary of rejection. She was also known by most legislators to have read all the bills or at least most of them, and every bill she voted on. Such claims are generally folklore, but it thought that she read more bills than any other legislator during her tenure.Upon departure from the legislature she was appointed to the position of Deputy Commissioner of Management and Finance for the Louisiana Department of Insurance as an appointee of the elected Commissioner, James \"Jim\" Donelon.".
