KATHLEEN FOWLES Kathleen Fowles passed away peacefully on July 25, 2003 following a lengthy battle with cancer. Her love of life and people touched the lives of all those who knew her. Kathleen loved to travel and enjoyed her most recent trip to Ireland with her sons. Kathleen accomplished much in her life, including raising four children. Those who knew and loved her will carry her quiet courage, strength of spirit, creativity and sense of humour forward. Kathleen was predeceased by her husband William, son John and brother Patrick. Survived by her son Garth (Joanne) of Toronto, Brian (Gloria) of Vancouver, Stephen (Gwen) of Medicine Hat, and daughter-in-law Sonja, brother Claire of Winnipeg, sister Margaret (Al) of Sidney and eight grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.
