Donald Whitby Mowbray
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.
The family wishes to thank everyone for all your kind words and support during this difficult time.
