Going in the twenties (flashback)
Melinda Bowen (1876-1957) was a good witch. She was the daughter of James Bowen and Iris J. Sauls.
She had two siblings Agnes Bowen and Gregory Bowen. She and Agnes had a very close relationship until Agnes claimed that Timothy McBride was their long-lost brother, and protected him from the rest of the family as long as she could, and as a result, was alienated from them.
Melinda's romantic life was known when she married a mortal man named Redmond Baxter. Together having they one daughter, Priscilla Baxter.
Also, she had two nieces, Phoebe Bowen and Pearl Russell.
History
It was never really revealed as to what kind of relationship Philippa had with her family. However, it was made known that when her sister, Agnes, alienated the family to defend a powerful murderous warlock whom she believed to be their long-lost brother, Melinda deeply resented Agnes for it, even after her sister realized her mistake and confessed to the family about it. She indicated in her journal her severe disapproval and unwillingness to forgive Agnes. In 2002, Phoebe Halliwell cast a spell to find a clue to Agnes's past, and Melinda's journal entry appeared in the Book of Shadows.
Book of Shadows
Journal Entry
"Agnes came to the house for the first time since the day she turned against us. We were polite, as she remains family, but no more than polite. She brought disgrace to the Warren Line, and many among us are not disposed to forgive her, nor will become so. Agnes, as the saying goes, has made her own bed. Whether she enjoys lying in it is not a concern for the rest of us." - Melinda about her sister, Agnes' betrayal.
