My sincere condolence to your family. I have great memories of Mrs. Cowan, most around music, singing and theatre as she retired the year before I would have moved to her classroom. Her vivacious nature was infectious. She had that special ability to involve students, not just lecture them. Christmas concerts, drama nights, school teas and community events would feature her smiling face and her laughter was a daily sound in our shared classroom space during elementary school. I still remember many of the songs she taught us and have fond memories of time spent with her preparing for drama nights wokring on sets or rehearsing. I am grateful for her positive influence in my school years. I hope it is a comfort to her loved ones to know how many lives she touched.
