It is with deepest sadness that we announce the passing of Dorothy Bowland, suddenly on December 5, 2022 at the Montfort Hospital, Ottawa, Ontario at the age of 64. She was predeceased by her parents Annie and Reginald Bowland of Chapleau, Ontario. Dear sister of Phyllis (Guy), Melba (George), Barbara (Bill), Garnet (Willeen), Gerry (late Jan), and Ron (Bernice). Special Auntie to nieces Lynne and Julie. Also many cousins, nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews.
Born in Chapleau, Dorothy made her home in Ottawa in 1975. After attending McArthur Vocational H.S. and Adult Training Center, she pushed through many challenges to enter the workforce. She worked at the Ritz Restaurant for a few years and then at Domus Café for over 25 years. There she was “Dot” and called the 2nd Boss. After that, she volunteered at St. Joseph’s Parish 5 days a week for St. Joe’s Supper Table, kitchen help, food bank, and serving coffee for the homeless. She was very reliable and loved by all. Everyone spoke so highly of “Dot”. She will be missed by many, but is at peace.
In lieu of flowers a donation to a charity of your choice in Dorothy’s memory would be appreciated by the family.
