CATHERINE MARGARET BOWES (BLACK)( Cathy)
Date of Passing: Mar 13, 2020
Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryCATHERINE MARGARET BOWES
Peacefully and surrounded by loved ones, Catherine (Cathy) Bowes took her last breath on Friday, March 13, 2020.
The incredible staff of the I.C.U. at St. Boniface Hospital were able to make sure she did not suffer and gave family the time to gather and say goodbye before she let go Friday evening.
Beside her then and in the years leading up were her children, Ron (Monique) and Katie (Curtis); as well as her husband Gerry; his children, Simon (Jennifer) and Liane (Lindsay), letting her know she was loved and it was okay to go. No more hurting.
Catherine was predeceased by her parents, George and Betty Black; her brother Robert Black; and her first husband, William (Bill) Bowes.
We will gather together to celebrate her someday in the future, when it feels responsible and when her oh-so loved grandsons, Sam, Charlie and Felix as well as her dearest friends can travel and join.
Until then, thank you to all who have been a part of Catherine's life in a big or little way. She had an incredible life touched by so many. Today, she would have loved you to bake a treat, some cookies or a cake to share with your family in these times that feel so unsure. Take comfort in your loved ones and find a way to laugh together. Cathy says.

Katie and Ronnie, that's how I knew you. You probably don't remember me. I was the first person to ever clean your teeth. I was friends with your mom and dad. I had lost touch with your parents. I have many wonderful memories being at your house, baking with your mom, taking the both of you on adventures, and having a lot of laughs and a ton of fun with your parents and the both of you. I live in Toronto. I was going through some recipes the other day and came across one your mom had given me. I decided to see if I could find the Bowes family. I am so shocked to have found out that you have lost both of your parents. I am sending you both my deepest sympathy. You had wonderful parents. Warm regards, Marla - Posted by: Marla (Friend) on: Jul 25, 2020

Katy and Ron. I am so very sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. I worked with Bill at MTS and we remained close friends for his lifetime. I have such fond memories of spending time with you and your parents at the house on Scotia Street in Winnipeg. Please accept my deepest sympathy, Marie Delorme. Calgary. - Posted by: Marie delorme (Family Friend) on: Mar 25, 2020

Extending my deepest and heartfelt sympathy to Gerry and family on Cathy's sudden passing. Cathy was one of my telerecruiters for the Canadian Cancer Society's annual community canvass. She was a wonderful addition to the team where lasting friendships were made. The last time we messaged each other was on her birthday a week or so earlier. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her. Please know that my thought are with you all at this very sad and difficult time. RIP Lynda Ruban (Canadian Cancer Society (retired) - Posted by: Lynda Ruban (Canadian Cancer Society (retired)) on: Mar 23, 2020

Sending love and condolences to you all at this time of loss. Having known Cathy for more years than I can go back, I know how much she loved and was loved. We didn’t get to see each other as often as we wanted , but when ever Lolly Buss organized a lunch date, it ran on for hours catching up. She was a kind giving soul , who lived her life with such gentleness and grace , my life has been blessed by her being a part of it . - Posted by: Cyndy Goulet (Zielke) (Friend ) on: Mar 22, 2020

Katie, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your mom. My daughter Jennifer Winterburn attended Luxton as well. I made her aware of your loss. Your mom was a VERY involved parent. I enjoyed having her helping hand as she volunteered at the school. - Posted by: Debbie Winterburn (Fellow parent of a child who attended Luxton School) on: Mar 21, 2020
