It is with heavy hearts that the family of Dorothy Boewe (Nee Blow), aged 94, announces her peaceful passing on December 18, 2024, at the Winchester District Memorial Hospital. A longtime resident of South Mountain, she was the beloved wife of the late Ed Boewe and a loving mother to her loving son, Ted Boewe.
Cherished sister of the late Gordon “Junior” Blow. Predeceased by her parents, Lena (Robinson) and Gordon William Blow, and fondly remembered by many cousins and friends.
Dorothy lived a life of faith, kindness, and service. She proudly worked as a Stenographer with the Royal Canadian Air Force Benevolent Fund, contributing her skills and dedication to supporting others. In her later years, she remained deeply connected to her community as an active and devoted member of Knox Presbyterian Church, Mountain where her faith and compassion inspired all who knew her. She offered her time and talents to the church in many ways, fostering meaningful relationships and strengthening her spiritual home.
Dorothy will be remembered for her warm smile, gentle spirit, and unwavering love for her family and friends. Despite the challenges she faced in recent years with dementia, her sweetness and grace never wavered.
A celebration of Dorothy’s life will take place at Byers Funeral Home, 2990 Church Street, South Mountain (613-989-3836) on Monday, December 23, 2024, from 1 p.m. until the Funeral Service in the Chapel at 2 p.m. Spring Internment will be held at South Gower Cemetery.

My deepest sympathy to you on the passing of your mother. She so loved the Mountain Church and worked faithfully through the years to keep it open as a place of worship. She cherished the many things her family donated to the church. I often saw your mother around her house on my way to golf and a few times I stopped to have a chat about her beautiful flowers and the cats. What a beautiful picture of her in the obituary and along with this cherish the wonderful memories of the life you shared. We celebrate a life well lived. Phyllis MacMaster
