Sheila Bowen Obituary
Sheila BOWEN
1954 – 2024
Sheila passed away surrounded by family and friends, united through their shared experiences of her loving kindness, compassion and fun-loving ways.? She was a teacher and community builder, whose generosity knew no bounds.
Sheila's adventurous spirit led her on many wilderness camping and kayaking escapades, had her jumping out of airplanes and stomping her feet by way of Appalachian clogging. She had a passion for riding horses and bushcraft and was a prolific tinkerer who created many beautiful/practical?objects.? Her values and beliefs were deeply rooted in Indigenous ways of knowing, as many of her creative projects reflect.
She is predeceased by her parents Tom and Myrtle and leaves behind the ever-adoring Sharleen (Fred), Sue (Celes) and family Myia (Angie, Ishaan), Naryn (Ellen, Maple, Rumi);?Wendy (Scott) and family Jeffrey, Justin, Jonathan; Betty, Mel (Cohen, Leo, Olive), Kim, (Charlotte, Sasha); her treasured furry companion Bear, and countless beloveds who hold her close in their hearts.
Sheila is now forever free to hike her mountains and paddle her way through peaceful waters.?
