Helen “Jean” Bowey
1923-2020
Helen “Jean” Bowey (nee Gowing)
Jean passed away peacefully with her family at her side on February
28th, 2020 at Lisaard House in Cambridge. Jean was in her 97th year.
She has gone on to be with the Lord and her beloved husband Elmer, and
they will ensure Heaven’s tennis courts are in full use. Best
Mom in the world to John (Susan), Robert (Judy), Kathryn ( Karl
Kiefer), Grace-Anne ( Henry Camilo). Loving Grandma to Kara (Rob Cox),
Jake, Brandon, Joel (Ashley), Daniel (Samantha). Special great-grandma
(GGMA) to Maelle and Abel Cox, Noah “Haddington” Bowey,
and Daphne and Alex Bowey. Survived by her brothers Ralph and Jack
Gowing. Predeceased by her parents Wes and Irene Gowing, her sisters
Merle, Grace, Ruth, and Mary, and her brothers Bob, Bruce, Frank, and
Cliff. Jean was born in Preston and she and Elmer lived in Galt all of
their life together. In addition to being a great Mom, Jean was an
avid athlete ( tennis, golf, and speed-skating), a baker
extraordinaire (known for her pies and butter-tarts), and she made
some wonderful quilts. She loved the family cottage at Blind Bay, and
the annual family trek to New Smyrna Beach, Florida. She was a woman
of great faith and lived it in how she treated people. All who had the
privilege to know her will miss her but will never forget her. She was
an amazing woman. There will be an empty seat at Sunday dinner at
Mom’s this week, but we will all be there! Thanks to all of the
caring staff at Lisaard House, and a special hug to Elizabeth.
Expressions of sympathy in Jean’s memory can be made to Lisaard House

be a private family celebration of Mom’s life.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Helen Jean Bowey 19232020..
