HELLO FAMILY & FRIENDS
It’s has been a very difficult week for us as our 88-year mother Iolyn Viola McDowall (1931-2019) sadly passed away on Wednesday, November 27th, 2019 at 11:45 am. She was born in Richland Park, St. Vincent, West Indies to Charles and Edith Thomas. She married the love of her life, Chieftain Walter McDowall in September 6th, 1950 who predeceased her in 1995
Our mother was an amazingly strong woman, raising 11 children. She was also so kind, loving and had a sweet gentle soul. Although this is a very sad time for our family, we also know that it was time for her to reconnect with our father Chieftain McDowall and some of my siblings. I’m sure they are so excited to be with her.
