I met Ann and Eric at the dental office I used to work at. We would talk the whole time they were in the waiting room waiting for each other. Two of my most favourite people. Ann had such a beautiful smile and would light up my day with her kindness and energy. After I left, we kept in touch through FB. She loved you all very much. Condolences
A true angel she was.
Beth Hamilton says

My sincere condolences to the Bowdery family. Ann and I sang together for many years in the Second Soprano section in Achill Choral Society. Over four decades we became friends when we travelled with the choir to Holland, England and performed in Toronto at Roy Thompson Hall and The Ford Centre and other locations in Ontario. Ann was a lovely lady. I will miss her interesting posts on Facebook. The 2nd Sops always loved hearing about the interesting holidays that Ann and Eric enjoyed so much. Rest in Peace dear Ann. Slán for now, your friend in song, Eilísh

Dear Audi, Chris and families. We are heartbroken to hear of our dear Ann’s passing. This came as a complete shock to Carol and me and we are sending you all our deepest condolences. While your darling Dad was our blood cousin, Ann was definitely our cousin too. In fact, she studied and owned all the information and knowledge of our family histories and for that, we will forever miss her depth of story telling and family lineages. Your sweet Mom was so connected and absolutely loved the Arts and History of Italy. It was her favourite place and she guided us so many times with helpful travel tips. Our family will miss her so much, but, we find peace knowing that she passed quietly and into the arms of her beloved Eric. Rest easy Sweetie All our love, Carol, Deb (nee: Trotman) and families xo

Tina Bowdery says
So sad to hear this news. Ann had been a good Facebook friend to a number of English Bowdery family members. We never found a link between our family branches, although I’m convinced there will be one found one day. We will miss Ann tremendously.
Sending our love to all who knew Ann especially her closest family
With love Gordon and Tina xx
