Rowena B. Horwood
1934-2022
Passed peacefully away on April 2, 2022 at the
Notre Dame Bay Memorial Health Centre, Twillingate, Rowena Blanche
Horwood at the age of 88. She was predeceased by
her husband James Horwood and her parents William and Fanny
Blake.
Rowena was the oldest of four children.
On December 15, 1954 Rowena married Jim Horwood of
Durrells.
Rowena was a
kind and gentle person. In her early days she worked at the
old Twillingate hospital and later the fish plant in
Twillingate. She was never outgoing, however she immensely
enjoyed the odd shopping trip to Gander or Lewisporte with dad; or a
Wednesday trip “up harbour” to get groceries or head to
“Riffs”. She was always prepared for
family visits and made sure Christmas gifts, Halloween treats and
birthday cards were all prepared.
Mom loved
listening to songs and church services on
TV. Her favourite was Charlie Pride
records. She also smiled when we ordered the odd
meal of Mary Brown’s.
Rowena leaves
with fun and loving memories – children – Marie (Wayne), Allan
(Cindy), Cathy, Cindy (Rick) and Robert
(Jennifer). Also her 10 grandchildren – Jennifer,
Jordana, Ashley, Carly, Vanessa, Sarah, Janine, Colton,
Mason, Makenna and 6 great grandchildren – Alissa, Alyssa, Logan,
Joshua, Selina and Annie.
Rowena also leaves to
mourn her brother Wilson Blake (Beryl), sister Stella Conway (Albert,
deceased), Violet Day (Freeman – deceased).
Rowena, our mom, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, and many
family members will be greatly missed by all.
“Loss of a mom is a heartbroken experience,
but we will cherish her memory. ”
Love you
mom,
