Bernadette Marie Rowe
August 14, 1943 – May 12, 2020
Saddened, but with gratitude for her life, we, the family of Bernadette Rowe, announce her peaceful passing on Tuesday, May 12, 2020, with her sister Theresa and niece Marie at her side. She is preceded in death by her parents Ted and Agnes Williams; sisters Mary, Eleanor Keats, Josephine Roberts, Judith McGrath and her dear friend Dr. Murray Waldman.
Bernadette left Newfoundland as a young woman and lived in the United States where her daughters Jacqueline and Wanda and their families still live. She later moved to Ontario where in later years she resided with her daughter Susan and her family. Bernadette’s love for her daughters and grandchildren was deep, sincere and unconditional.
But the “Rock” kept calling and after many holiday visits she came home to her beloved Newfoundland in 2013 to live out her final years.
As well as her daughters and grandchildren, Bernadette leaves behind her brother Don Greene (Carmel), Theresa Boland (Jim) and Yvonne Williams along with many nieces, nephews and friends. With much love we will remember her.
Detty is also lovingly remembered by her very best friend Isabel Malkin (Mendl) and her beloved Kyle, Daniel and Michael Waldman and their families in Toronto whose love and support was such a comfort to her.
We gratefully acknowledge the staff of Admirals Coast Retirement Centre for the loving care and happy family life she so enjoyed there with her roommate Geraldine.
Bernadette was a hard working, humble and loving woman of deep faith. She missed no opportunity to praise and thank God for any kindness and blessing that came her way. She will be dearly missed by all who loved her and her memory is our blessing.
May her sweet soul rest forever in the peace she is so deserving of.
Due to the COVID-19 restrictions there will be no visitation. She will be laid to rest beside her mother in a private family service in the coming days.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Bernadette Marie Rowe 2020..
Death notice for the town of: Torbay, Province: T-N
