FOWLER: The family sadly announces the sudden passing of Doreen Fowler at the Brandon Regional Health Centre on Saturday, March 9, 2019 at the age of 86 years. Doreen was born to Polly and Earl Lund in Elkhorn, MB where she also received her education. In her late teens, she was employed at the Elkhorn Creamery followed by a brief career at the CIBC in Brandon. Doreen met the love of her life, Glen Fowler, in Elkhorn where they later married in November, 1952. They lived in Virden where all five of their children were born. The family moved to Brandon in 1966 where she resided until her death. Doreen and Glen enjoyed travelling and camping with their family and later in life were fortunate to visit many parts of the world. They spent many winters in Hawaii and later in Mesa, AZ. Summers were spent with family and friends (with no shortage of fun) at Oak Lake as well as Clear Lake. Doreen was her family’s biggest cheerleader. She attended many events, near and far, whether it a sporting event or celebrating an academic achievement. She played a big role in her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren’s lives. She was also admired by her children’s friends and well known to all as “Nana.” She was also a long time supporter of the Brandon Wheat Kings. She had a great sense of humour and was known to pull the odd practical joke or two. Doreen was predeceased by her husband Glen in 2002. She is survived by her family: son Brian (Lois) Fowler, (children Rhonda (Darren) Ritchie, Quinn and Nolan; Rob (Ericka) Fowler, Carson and (Aiden), daughter Brenda (Bryan) Williams, (children Jen (Jeff) Shuttleworth, Sam and Ben; Janine (Doug) Fischer, Charlie), son Grant (Cathy) Fowler, daughter Sharon (Brian) Shannon, daughter Susan (Tim) Dekker, (children Brooke Gripich, Kaleb and Rochelle; Boyd, Kelsey (Tom) and Kristin).
