1938-2024
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Donald Whitby Mowbray on February 10th, 2024. After a long and courageous battle with illness, Don peacefully crossed the bar in the comfort of his home, surrounded by loved ones.
Born to Angele Desire Kleine and Victor Ernest Alfred Mowbray on February 21st, 1938, in Edam, Saskatchewan, Don was just shy of his 86th birthday at his time of passing.
Known for his endless stories, natural curiosity, and love of Canadian history, Don was a kind and thoughtful man who always had time to listen and support those around him. Having conducted his life and business with utmost integrity, his discipline and perseverance truly defined his path in life.
He is survived by his wife of 49 years Elaine Janet (Hargrave) Mowbray, daughter Lee-Ann Margaret (Mowbray) Pickett, son Allan Daniel Mowbray (Teresa), daughter Sabrina Marie (Mowbray) Angus (Chris), grandchildren Michael, Daniella, Elizabeth, Benjamin, Callum and Abigail, and great-grandchildren Kylie, Bentley, Noah, Aurora, and Ophelia.
The fourth born child of five, Don leaves behind brother Victor Mowbray (Sally), sister Marion (Mowbray) Irons, sister Doris (Mowbray) Rogers, and several nieces and nephews.
Don was predeceased by his father Victor Ernest Alfred Mowbray (1882-1947), his mother Angele Desire (Kleine) Mowbray (1905-1986), and his eldest brother William Joseph Mowbray (1929-2011).
A service will be held in his honour on Saturday March 9th, 2024, at 11:00am at Prince George Funeral Service (1014 Douglas St., Prince George, B.C.) with a reception to follow just down the street at the Prince George Elks Hall. All are welcome to attend.

I am very sad to hear of Dons passing.I have moved from Prince George so no longer get a lot of the news from up there.
I worked with Don first in 1972/3- actually Elaine also- we were young technologists at PGRH as it was known then.
I went back to work in 2000 but Don was retired by then but Elaine still there.I use to see Don at the Y on the treadmill usually reading a book - but he always had a smile and took time to chat.
He was a great coworker and always quick to lend a helping hand .He was the baby whisperer back in the day- he could always calm a screaming baby -as in those days we use to do a lot of imaging especially skull work.
Condolences to Elaine and his family
