October 31, 1938 – August 25, 2025
Edith passed away peacefully at home in Exeter on Monday, August 25, 2025 in her 87th year. She is predeceased by her husbands, James Daniel (D. Aug. 25, 1974), Kenneth Bowen (D.

She is survived by her brother Norman Craig, sister-in-law Helen Craig, stepsons and daughters-in-law, grandchildren, great grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews.
Edith was born, and grew up in, Stoneham, Quebec. In her own words, she lived “an interesting and full 86 1/2 years” where she lived in various parts of the world including Germany and Gander, Newfoundland until she finally settled in Exeter in 1981.
In accordance with Edith’s wishes, cremation has taken place and there will be no service or memorial. Her remains will be returned to her birthplace and will rest alongside her husband, James Daniel.
Donations to the South Huron Hospital Foundation would be appreciated by the family.
