OBITUARIES STOWELL: Florence Stowell, Florence Emily (Packham) Stowell 1920-2017. Florence Stowell passed away on March 1, 2017 in Montreal. She had been living in Quebec near her daughter for over seven years – a surprising ending to a life previously lived entirely in Saskatchewan. Florence was born in Sutherland and educated in Saskatoon. She married Bill Stowell and together they moved to North Battleford in 1947. A life-long Anglican, St. Paul’s and the Anglican Church Women’s group were central to her life. She was a kind and loyal friend, intelligent and hardworking, extremely talented at knitting, sewing and crochet. She was a wonderful gardener whose annual bloom of lilies was a gorgeous spectacle. Parkinson’s disease gradually made her life very difficult in her final years. She was truly remarkable in her capacity to “make the best of things”, as she would say. She was admired and loved by so many who came to know her in Montreal. In her heart, however, she never left Saskatchewan. It was the first thing she wanted people to know about her – North Battleford and her friends of many years were never forgotten. A special thanks to Priscar Kalulu whose gentle, loving and joyful presence brightened Florence’s days. Florence is survived by her daughter, Linda, and Linda’s partner, Kelle Dunlop, of Montreal as well as numerous nieces and nephews. She was the last of her Packham generation. She loved us all and we treasure our memories of her and of the Packhams and Stowells who have gone before. A memorial service will be held at 1 pm on July 12, 2017 at St. Paul’s Anglican Church. Kindly make any donations in Florence’s memory to a charity of your choice. _____________________________________________________ WILLIAMS-PULS: Katherine (Kay) Williams-Puls, formally of Palm Springs, California, was carried home by her Lord and Savior on Monday, October 3, 2016 in Battleford, Saskatchewan.
