Passed peacefully into the open arms of our Lord, on March 30, joining the love of her life, James (Jim) Cowan who predeceased her in 2002. Her days were rich with love and care for family and friends. Her constant light will be dearly missed by children, Kathy MacDonald (Steve); Maureen Musclow (Tom); Andrew Cowan (Paula); and Angela Barsky (Bob). She was a devoted mentor and Nannie to Jason MacDonald (Diana), Ashley Steele, Steven Cowan, Michael MacDonald (Alyssa), Stephanie Breda, Ryan Gray, Chrissy Cowan, Maggie Musclow, Johnathon Steele, Patrick Musclow, Dylan Laidlaw and Brandon Cowan and the treasured ”Gramma Skinny” of Hailey, Gavin and Kendra.

Mathers, Al & Sue Merkley, Joe & Ofie Garza, her ‘East Coast’ connection-Flat & Audrey, Cecil & Sheila, Bob & Charlotte, Dave & Glynis, Nicole, Elizabeth & Debbie, her ‘shuffleboard & casino’ crews and countless people she met in her travels between Brockville & Prince Edward Island & Florida.
