Eileen Fowler was born on the family farm in Luseland, SK to Elizabeth and Conrad Longlitz, the youngest of 11 children. She taught in a one room school house in Englewood, SK from 1943 to 1946. She moved to Salvador, SK in 1946 and continued to teach until 1950. She was married to William (Bill) Fowler for 58 years and had three children. Mom loved gardening, needlework, her beloved Bible Study with her best friend, Bernice and spoiling her grandchildren, who fondly remember Grandma's house was full of the smell of her homemade buns, ginger snaps and Yorkshire pudding. She taught 13 years at Lincoln Elementary until her retirement in 1978. She often met former students who remembered her as a kind and loving teacher. She was predeceased by her husband Bill in 2010, and all her brothers and sisters. She is survived by her children, Rod (Kathy), Judy (Geoffrey) and Rick (Judy), nine grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.

I am sorry for your loss and just know, she impacted my life later in years when the teenage awkward phase was finished and I could really reflect on all the wonderful things my teachers taught me through the years. She was a mother figure and made me feel special. What an incredible human being. - Posted by: Marcia Cholakis (Teacher) on: Jan 20, 2015

I am so sad to read the passing of my grade 8 home room teacher Mrs Fowler. She was a very special teacher who taught me a lot and yes a few times gave me detentions because I deserved them. I could have been one of the "gum in your bell" ring leaders. I thank you so much for your kindness, enthusiasm, and excellent teaching skills which have helped me throughout my life. You were the best! Thank you Mrs Fowler. - Posted by: stephen cholakis (lincoln) on: Jan 19, 2015

I am so very sorry to hear of the passing of your Mom. Mrs. Fowler was not only my teacher at Lincoln School but also a close friend to a lady by the name of Mrs. Kerr. I hung around with Mrs. Kerr's daughter, Sharlene for quite a few years when I was young. During this time, your Mom always invited me for dinner along with Sharlene. Your Mom was always so giving and kind to me. Most of all, I recall her warm smile. Rest in Peace, Mrs. Fowler. Sorry, that we students at Lincoln School put gum in your desk bell so you couldn't ring it. RING AWAY, SWEET LADY! Thank you for being such a positive childhood memory. My condolences to the family. She was a wonderful lady and a dedicated teacher. - Posted by: Donna Johnston (Student of Mrs. Fowler in Lincoln School) on: May 10, 2014

I have such fond memories of the time I boarded with Bill & Eileen. They were so warm and welcoming to me. I would eat dinner with them each evening and I too remember all the delicious smells coming from her kitchen. The conversation around the table was sweet and made me feel at home. A couple of times when my car would not start, Bill offered for me to take his to work and he would put mine in the garage to warm up a bit. I still remember Eileen's red pepper jelly that she gave us for a wedding gift - I would love to learn how to make it. Because we left Winnipeg in '91, we didn't get to see them much. I only wish we could have. - Posted by: Sue Seeley-Jollymore (Boarder at Bill & Eileen's in 1987/88) on: Apr 19, 2014

To Eileen's family, my deepest sympathy in the loss of a wonderful mother and very special person. Eileen was my mentor when I started my teaching career at Lincoln. She was an excellent example to follow and spent many hours helping me develop the skills necessary to handle the challenges of the job. She was a devoted wife, mother, and friend. I was extremely privileged to have Eileen as a part of my life and remember with great fondness the times we shared. Thank you,Eileen.
