My Aunt Elma will be remembered by me as the “hostess with the mostess” loooong before the art of entertaining was even a thing. She could whip up a party as if she were Bewitched. And she was my role model of what a love relationship should look like as she and Uncle Doug were as openly affectionate as two 16 year olds always. I never saw them any other way. I have only good memories of the times our families gathered. It was always a good time filled with crazy laughter. I, along with my family, Sam, Hilary and Hayley, send our deepest sympathies to the Gowland family and to my maternal family in Milton and especially Doug in Austin. Rest peacefully Aunt Elma.
