Arnold Peter Mathus
It is with heavy hearts that the family of Arnold Peter Mathus announce his passing at Bowmanville Hospital after a brief illness at the age of 88 years.
Arnie is predeceased by his loving wife Donna of 58 years.
Left to mourn his passing are daughters Lori Bauman (Derek), Shelley Bernabei (Emilio) and grandchildren Brennah and Emma Bauman and Chloe and Travis Bernabei.
Arnie was born in the Crowsnest Pass AB to Lithuanian immigrant parents. They eventually moved to Manitoba to farm. Dad would fondly recall a snowy owl named Hooty that became like a pet. From Manitoba the family moved to Vancouver BC and opened a pool hall, where Dad learned to shoot a mean game.
He attended the University of British Columbia and earned a degree in geology.
After spending some time surveying in Northern Canada, he joined the military in a civilian position as a meteorologist.
While stationed in Ontario he met and married Donna. After postings in Trenton ON and Cold Lake AB, they moved to Comox BC, where Dad eventually retired. He was quite happy living on the West Coast as it allowed him to play golf 9 months a year.
Dad's passion was golf, but turned down the opportunity to go pro as he figured that would take the fun out of it.
Most of his friendships were made in a club house and you always knew where to find him. In their later years Dad and Mom moved back to Ontario and enjoyed being close to extended family.

Ann Wright Cowman
December 28 1934 – March 27 2024
It is with great sadness that the family of Ann Cowman announces her death of natural causes on Wednesday, March 27, 2024.
She was predeceased by her parents Bob and Doris (née Loffman) Wright and her older brother Bob.
She will be lovingly remembered by her husband David Cowman, and her children John (Cathy Eliot), Rebecca (Brent Bentham), and Deborah (Chris Lowry). ‘Nana’ to Luke, Lauren, Maddy, Will, John, Sarah, Robert and D.J. Ann grew up in the countryside near Birmingham, England.
She married David Cowman while she was studying to be a nurse and David was in medical school.
They emigrated to Canada in 1965 with their three children, and settled in the Oshawa area.
Her father, a butcher by trade and a country squire by inclination, had once planned to homestead in Canada, so her urge to come here was a fulfillment of that ideal.
She served on Durham Regional Council for many years starting in the 1970s.
One of her last big projects was the restoration of a ruined 1847 log home out on the Salem Road near Little Britain. Ann and David enjoyed many adventures, travelling all over the continent in their camper van. For the last twenty years they have lived in Port Perry with a view of the lake from their balcony, amidst their collections of fine antiques and clocks.
Ann was a bold problem solver, and passed on her philosophy of resourcefulness to her children and grandchildren.
The family will have a private memorial and burial.
In place of flowers please consider donating to the Nature Conservancy of Canada.
