Dowler, Terais

May 3, 1930 - March 3, 2018

Terais Imogene Dowler (Hughes) died peacefully in hospital in Ottawa on March 3, 2018 in her 88th year. Beloved daughter of the late Frank Hughes and Marguerite Hughes Green. Loving mother of John, who predeceased her, and Susan (Tom). Very proud grandmother of Liam and James. Terais was predeceased by her devoted brother and sister-in-law, Jack and Deanna Hughes. She will be fondly remembered by her niece and nephew and by her many friends.

Terais was a longtime piano teacher and organist in St. Catharines who appreciated all facets of the arts. She was involved in the vocal section of the Kiwanis Music Festival for many years and also took great pleasure in being a lifelong Beta Sigma Phi member. Equally cherished were the many summers she spent with family and friends on the shores of Lake Huron at Evergreen Resort.

The family wishes to thank all those individuals who helped to make Terais' life easier throughout the years, especially dear friends Marna Smith, Terri Pothier and Elsie Bedford-Jones.

A celebration of Terais' life will be held at The Church of The Transfiguration in St. Catharines on Monday May 7th, 2018 at 11:00 am. If desired, donations in Terais' memory may be made to Diabetes Canada, OrKidstra in Ottawa or a charity of your choice.
