Rachel Howitz Kowan (16 December 1913 - 15 September 2000). Partner with her husband Michael Kowan in operating Kay's Book and Magazine Supermarket in downtown Cleveland. See the finding aid for the Michael Kowan Family Papers at the Western Reserve Historical Society.

A patronizing column by Ron Simon in the Mansfield (Ohio) News-Journal of 14 August 1983 notes the closing of Kay's sometime around the beginning of August, 1983 and that “Rachel Kowan, the bad-tempered lady who ran it, finally gave up.”
