Ethel Fowles passed on Sept. 5, 2020 at the age of 85 in Quesnel, BC with family at her side.
Ethel is survived by her loving children, son Stephen Fowles and daughter Debbie (Darrell) Dinsdale. Ethel will be remembered and loved by her five grandsons: Jason Fowles, Justin (Chelsea) Fowles, Chris (Sabrina) Dinsdale, Cameron (Olivia) Dinsdale and Cole Dinsdale, along with the newest family member, great-grandson Colin Dinsdale. She is also remembered by Linda Fowles, her brother Marvin (Gerry-Lou) Christianson, sisters-in-law Enes Christianson, Judy Fowles, Ethel Busch and Clara Christianson, as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
Ethel was predeceased by her loving husband, Jack, in 2001. Jack’s sudden death was very hard on Ethel but her love for her family and friends gave her the strength to carry on.
Ethel was born November 7, 1934 in Hythe, Alberta. As a young child her family moved to Prince George, BC and then to Kamloops, BC in 1950. Ethel graduated from Kamloops High School in 1952 and then went on to St. Ann’s Academy and took business classes. In her early years, Ethel worked for Woolworths, the City of Kamloops and then BC Hydro.
Ethel met Jack, and they married on March 17, 1956, in Kamloops. It is there that they built a life together and raised their children. Ethel’s greatest joy in life was spending time with her family especially the grandsons once they came along.
When Ethel’s health declined, her children decided to move her to Dunrovin Lodge in Quesnel where she could receive the care she needed and be close to her daughter, Debbie.
