July 9, 1947 - January 4, 2025
In loving memory ~
With great sadness, we share the passing of Carla Bowman on January 4, 2025 at the age of 77.
She was born on July 9, 1947 in Calgary, Alberta to Richard Jago and Jean Jago (nee Reid). At 19 years old, Carla moved with her future husband of 57 years, Barry, to Port Alberni, BC, where she spent the rest of her life. Predeceased by her parents and brother Rick, she leaves behind her husband Barry, children Arlette and Brett, brothers Ray (Linda) and Gary (Bonnie), and labradoodle granddaughter, Nisha.
Carla was an avid reader, often reading an entire novel in a day. Over the years, she engaged in many activities, such as curling, bowling, darts, and billiards. She loved word games and jigsaw puzzles. She loved her family dearly and was fiercely protective of them. As many can attest, at times she lived up to the stereotype of the fiery redhead.
She was the heart of her family
and will be deeply missed.
At Carla's request there will be no service.
