After the death of her brother, Edgar, in 1923, Clare moved to DeLand to manage his business, G. W. Fisher Drug Co., for six years before selling it and returning to Tallahassee. She was involved in many philanthropic and community organizations, such as the International Order of the King's Daughters and Sons, the Cherokee Garden Circle, and the Ladies Pharmaceutical Auxiliary. Bowen led efforts to preserve a number of oak trees in the Calhoun Street District, her family's neighborhood, in 1945, with partial success. Bowen died in 1973.
