A vigil was held for a 77-year-old lady who was stabbed to death at her house in a gated Atlanta community as police sought a person of interest.

On Saturday evening, a large group of people showed up to hold a vigil for Eleanor Bowles, 77, in front of her home in Atlanta’s Buckhead district. The mother and grandmother were recalled as “one of the most wonderful persons that you could ask” by her family and friends.

She was a kind and compassionate person

Bowles’s close friend and family member, Annette Loper, praised her as a kind and compassionate person. Spending time with her golden retriever was her primary pastime. She remarked, “Oh my goodness, she loved. The death of Bowles has left her loved ones in a state of disbelief, they say. WANF adds that they are still optimistic, however, that justice will be done.

Saturday night, at about 6:00, police were dispatched to a residence located at 6 Paces West Terrace NW, according to reports. Police discovered Bowles, apparently stabbed numerous times, lifeless in her garage. Her death was ruled an accident scene instantaneous.
