In the quiet hours of yesterday morning, our hearts collectively sighed as we bid farewell to a remarkable soul, our beloved nan, Marie Bowring. It is with great sadness that we announce her peaceful passing at the tender age of 96. Marie was not only a cherished family member but also a steadfast contributor to our company’s journey from its humble beginnings to its current stature.
Marie’s connection with our company ran deep; she was there from the very beginning, witnessing its evolution from a Land Rover and trailer to the thriving entity it is today. Her presence was like a thread woven into the fabric of our success, an ever-present reminder of the hard work, dedication, and familial support that fueled our growth.
Within the company, Marie carved her niche in the transport division, where her work ethic and commitment left an indelible mark. Fondly remembered for her tireless efforts, she became a pillar of strength, contributing to the foundation upon which our success was built. Even as she approached her later years, Marie remained dedicated until her retirement in 2008, at the remarkable age of 80. Marie’s journey through life was one of resilience and unwavering support for her family.
Her influence extended far beyond the professional realm, as she became the guiding force behind her three sons, her grandchildren, and, more recently, her great-grandchildren. With a perfect blend of love and firmness, Marie left an enduring impact on the lives she touched, offering support, wisdom, and the occasional loving telling-off when necessary. Marie’s positivity was a beacon that illuminated the lives of those fortunate enough to know her
Through the ups and downs, she faced life with grace, leaving an indomitable spirit that will continue to inspire us all. As we bid her farewell, we are left with a trove of memories filled with laughter, love, and the undeniable imprint of a life well-lived. To everyone within the company and those associated with it, Marie’s spirit will forever be woven into the fabric of our shared history. As we navigate the future, we can take solace in the belief that she is looking down upon us, offering her silent blessings and guidance.
Rest in peace, dear Nan. Your legacy lives on in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to be touched by your love and wisdom. As we mourn your physical absence, we find comfort in knowing that your spirit will continue to guide us, much like it did during your extraordinary 96 years on this earth.
