Obituary of Jean Louise (nee BUCHER) ROWAN

June 21, 1926 – Okotoks, Alberta

March 14, 2020 – Calgary, Alberta

Jean Louise Rowan, beloved wife, mum, and gramma, passed away on Saturday, March 14, 2020 after 93 years of a life well lived.

She was predeceased by her husband of sixty-nine years, Gordie Rowan. Jean will be lovingly remembered by her children, Maureen Rowan of Victoria, BC, Ron Rowan (Jolynn) of Blaine, Washington, Barbara Ann Ireland (Rick) of Spruce Grove, AB, Betty Lou Bellavance (Keith) of Calgary, AB; grandchildren, Katy and Duncan Ireland, Rowan and Sarah Bellavance; great-granddaughter Ava; and many dear family members and friends.

Words could never express our admiration for her strength, talents and amazing capacity to love. She was a nurse who was always ready to take care of family and friends and gave the best magic kisses. She loved to read, travel, golf, spend time with her family and express her creativity through sewing, quilting, needlework and cake decorating.

Coronavirus precautions prevent a large celebration of her life. The immediate family will hold a private ceremony in her honour, Mum would want everyone to stay healthy.
