Obituary of Beverly Anne Bownes
It is with heavy hearts that we share of the passing of Beverly Anne Bownes of Windsor, Ontario on September 2nd, 2025 at the age of 78 years. She will be deeply missed by her family, friends and all who were fortunate enough to meet her. Bev lived her life with kindness, grace, and compassion for all.
Bev was born to Len and Jane Larson on July 24th, 1947 in Killam, Alberta. Bev grew up with her siblings, many cousins, aunts and uncles in Killam. Upon completing high school in Sedgewick, Bev moved to Edmonton to attend McTavish Business College. During this time, she married Doug Bownes, and they moved to Hinton and then Galahad where they raised their family. She later moved to Camrose, Penticton, BC and finally to Windsor and made many friends along the way.
She is survived by her son Rick (Deb) of Penticton, BC and her daughter Natalie (Tristan) of Windsor, Ontario; six grandchildren Elijah (Bryanna), Abby (Jared) Miner, Rachel & Sola and Solveig & Jesper and one great grandchild Brielle Bownes; the father of her children Doug Bownes; siblings Jack (Nicole) Larson, Craig (Wendy) Larson, Hilma Sue (Murray) Waddell and numerous beloved nieces, nephews, friends and extended family.
She was predeceased by her parents Len and Jane Larson, her brother Bobby and her sister June.
A come and go Memorial Service to honour Bev will be held at the Galahad Agriplex on Saturday, October 11th, 2025. Friends and family are invited to stop by between 4-9pm to remember and pay tribute to Bev.
A formal celebration of her life will start at 4pm. Following the service, all are welcome to stay for a time of fellowship, to share memories and to enjoy refreshments. As Bev loved bowling and cards, we have rented the Galahad Bowling Alley following the service to honour her. We welcome you to stay, mingle and remember her through her favourite things.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to the Galahad Care Centre Ladies Auxiliary or a charity of Donor’s choice.
Thank you so much for your thoughts and support during this difficult time.
