We Remember

BOWLES, Roy Charles

February 11, 1923 — January 21, 2016

It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Roy Bowles at Pine Acres Care Home in West Kelowna, BC.  He and Hazel spent many years living in Western Canada but he always had a deep fondness for the town of Swan River, Manitoba where he was born and raised.

Roy is survived by his wife of 74 years, Hazel, son Roger (Harriet) and daughter Sandra (Ralph), grandchildren Krista (John), Bryan, Christine (Oliver) and great grandchildren Dylan, Isabelle and Max as well as his sister Sylvia. He was predeceased by his parents Edwin and Gertrude Bowles, his brother Ted and his sister Margaret.

Roy had many varied interests over the years. In later life he was well known for his beautiful woodworking and exquisite needlepoint. He spent hundreds of hours on both of these interests and his family were the lucky recipients of his many works of art.

A celebration of life will be held in Swan River later in the year.

If friends so desire, donations may be made in lieu of flowers to the Swan River Valley Hospital in Swan River, Manitoba R0L 1Z0.
