BOWEN: Lillian Joan
Posted By On July 8, 2024 @ 12:00 AM In Goderich, Obituary | 16 Comments
Lillian Joan (Mohring) Bowen of Goderich at the age of 90 years passed peacefully with her loving son Ken by her side. Beloved wife of 52 years of the late Roy Donald “Bing” Bowen (2002). Loving mother of Ken (Kathleen) Bowen. Cherished grandma of Chris, Scott and Jacqui Bowen. Treasured great grandma of Jacob, Cody, Madison, Chasmine and Liam. Dear sister-in-law of Don Glenn, Don and Ruth (Bowen) Fritzley. Also survived by her many special nieces and nephews. Predeceased by her parents Roydon and Lillian (Berriman) Mohring. Her brothers Bert, Harold (Hooley), Bill, John, Gordon (Corn), Lorne, Bob and her sisters Marjorie (in infancy), Alma, Donna, Pat, Mona and Lucille.
At Joan’s request, cremation has taken place. A Memorial Service to Celebrate Joan’s life will be held at St. George’s Anglican Church on Tuesday July 23, 2024 at 11 AM. A private family interment will be held at a later time at Colborne Cemetery. In lieu of flowers Memorial donations in Joan’s honour may be made to the Alzheimer Society of Canada and the Alexander Marine & General Hospital Foundation Palliative Care Unit gratefully acknowledged.
Joan was born in Goderich and lived her entire life here. She was a life member of the Royal Canadian Legion branch 109, and proud of it, where she volunteered her service for many years. Anyone who knew Joan could agree she was a determined and strong willed woman, some would say feisty. She was an avid walker and also loved to spend her free time at the beach walking the boardwalk and watching the sunsets.
The family would like to thank all the staff at Goderich Place and Alexander Marine & General Hospital for their excellent care and for their compassion shown to Joan in her final days.
