MARGARET (PEGGY) BOWMAN October 15, 1923 - October 6, 2012 With great sadness we announce the death of our much loved Mom, Grandmom and Great- Grandmom. Peggy was born in Winnipeg in 1923; the only child of Frank Dechman and Frances Dechman (nee MacLeod). On June 18, 1949 Peggy married Bill (Dr. William D. Bowman), the love of her life. Peggy and Bill were very happily married for almost 62 years. Bill died on March 2, 2011 and Peggy missed him very very much. Peggy will always be remembered and greatly missed by her children: Paul (Lois), Nancy, Susan (Bill), Bruce (Lisa), John (Barb) and Brian and 16 grandchildren and four great- grandchildren.

  • Peggy and Bill were so welcoming and hospitable when my husband and I stayed in their guest cottage at Victoria Beach so many years ago. Their love for each other was evident for everyone to see and their love for their grandchildren and children was unconditional. The death of a parent, no matter the age, leaves a huge void.
