Sowle was one of the last surviving adult cast members of the iconic film following Gene Wilder's death from Alzheimer's disease in 2016.
Wilder, who played Willy Wonka, apparently lunched with Sowle regularly while they were working together on the film.
In an interview following his death, Sowle said that Wilder was always very friendly.

She said:
"We'd be working on a scene and having a lunch break and he would be coming in to film another scene, and he would join us on a lunch break and we'd have lunch. "He was so nice, he never acted like, 'Oh I'm a bigger star than the rest of you', he was always friendly and courteous and funny and told nice stories."Sowle's other roles included Mrs Schubert in Shear Madness. She also starred in films Clear And Present Danger, and Guarding Tess.
