The family is very saddened to announce the death of George E.W. Fowlie of Paris, Ontario (lately of Fredericton, New Brunswick) in Fredericton on September 23, 2024 at the age of 83. He suffered a stroke in April, 2024.
George is survived by his wife Mary (née Sykes) Fowlie, son Wilson Fowlie, daughter Laurel (Jay) Fowlie, and grandchildren Quinn and Clover Fowlie and Jaymey Pennell. George is also remembered by dear friends Greig and Alex Graham and surrogate daughter Anna (Christer) Ekman.
He is predeceased by his daughter-in-law Heather Fowlie, his brother Douglas, and his parents Walter and Lillian Fowlie.
He leaves behind many good friends and cherished neighbours. He was born in 1941 in Oshawa, Ontario. He met Mary while selling shoes in a department store, where she was smitten by his beautiful blue eyes, and they married in 1963. They both pursued teaching careers, and worked in Indigenous communities in northern Ontario for 5 years, and in Australia for a year. George taught all levels, from kindergarten to adults. He pioneered the Alternative Education program in Brant County.
George was an animal lover, and had a variety of pets throughout his life. He particularly loved his childhood bulldog, Buttons, and the family German shepherd, Tara. George was a passionate and inspiring teacher. Once retired from teaching, he became a successful wedding photographer. For thirty years he was a well-respected director of amateur theatre productions.
He will be remembered for his love of the theatre, of music (his favourite was classical, particularly Mozart), of photography, of travel, of cooking, and of puns of varying quality. His thoughtfulness and generosity will be missed by all.
There will be a celebration of life to be announced at a later date. Donations, in lieu of flowers, may be sent to the Heart & Stroke Foundation.
