Rita BOWLES

SHEEN, Rita (nee Bowles) On November 2, 2009, at the age of eighty-one, Rita passed away peacefully surrounded by her immediate family after fighting a brave battle with cancer. She will be greatly missed by Ted, her beloved husband of 60 years whose love and dedication eased her passage. Her spirit and optimism will live on in her children Donna (Wayne), Debra (Brian) and Gary (Karen). She was the dearest grandmother to Tegan (Justin), Shane, Jordan, Bradley, Wesley, Michael and Carley, who were her pride and joy. Rita also leaves to mourn her sister Iris.
