SPUC has expressed its sadness at the death of Phyllis
Bowman, the Society’s first national director. In a joint statement, SPUC’s
leading national officers said:
“We regret to learn of the death on Monday 7
May 2012 of Mrs Phyllis Bowman, SPUC's former National Director. Phyllis Bowman
inspired and led the growth of SPUC, the world’s first pro-life organisation of
its kind, from its foundation in 1967 until she stepped down as national
director in 1996. She was present, and as a successful journalist was appointed
press secretary, at the founding meeting of SPUC at the Wig and Pen Club, on 11
January 1967. She became SPUC’s first national director in the early 1970s. We
will always remember and be grateful for her energetic and inspiring pro-life
leadership over three decades in Britain and Northern Ireland, as well as for
her leading role in the development of the pro-life movement internationally.
We extend our deep sympathy to Jerry, her husband, who always supported Phyllis
in her pro-life work, and to her family.”
We join with our colleagues in SPUC in expressing our sadness at her death
