Ottawa Citizen Obituaries Today: Bowman, Boyle, Calder

When someone we know passes away, finding accurate information quickly matters more than ever. The Ottawa Citizen publishes death notices daily through its dedicated platform, and knowing where to look can save hours of searching during difficult times. This guide maps out today’s listings, explains how to filter by date ranges, and highlights which names appeared in recent weeks.

Today’s Obituaries Listed: David Alexander Bowman, Lawrence Wheeler Boyle, Donald Calder · Date Range: Past 30 days · Official Search: Ottawa Citizen Obituaries

The table below consolidates key parameters for navigating Ottawa Citizen obituary listings across different time windows and search configurations.

Ottawa citizen obits yesterday

Yesterday’s listings included Lawrence Wheeler Boyle (1959–2026), whose notice appeared in the Ottawa Citizen obituary section. The platform’s date filter allows users to step back one day at a time or select predefined ranges.

Search filters for prior day

The search page defaults to “today,” but changing the filter_date parameter to “pastday” or selecting a specific calendar range retrieves earlier listings. Users can bookmark filtered URLs to return to past searches without re-entering criteria.

Notable names from recent listings

Beyond Lawrence Wheeler Boyle, the prior-day window captures notices published across the full 24-hour cycle. Gilbert Lucien Carriere also appeared in recent search results, illustrating how multiple names can surface when broadening the time window.

Ottawa citizen obituaries past 3 days

Extending the window to three days captures more names while remaining recent enough to reflect current listings. This range works well when checking obituaries posted over a recent long weekend or brief absence.

Short-term recent notices

Notices such as David Alexander Bowman (listed today) and Donald Calder (also recent) fall within this broader window. The Ottawa Citizen publishes names individually as families submit notices, so a three-day span typically includes between several and a dozen entries depending on submission volume.

Sorting by last name

Adding ?sort_by=obitslastname_meta&order=asc to the search URL arranges results alphabetically by surname. This makes scanning for a specific family name faster and helps users locate related notices without reading through every entry chronologically.

Ottawa citizen obituaries past 7 days

A full week of listings provides enough volume to notice patterns—whether certain funeral homes publish more frequently or which days tend to have heavier submission days.

Weekly roundup access

The official search URL with filter_date=pastweek returns all notices from the previous seven days. This range included names such as Glenneth Marjorie Anderson (April 13, 2026) and Anne Marie Andrews (lived 1937–2026), demonstrating the variety of ages and circumstances in any given week.

Obit lastname meta sorting

Alphabetical sorting through obitslastname_meta works across any date range. Users looking for notices from a specific family—Carriere, Anderson, or Jolicoeur—can quickly scan the sorted list rather than scrolling through chronologically mixed entries.

The Ottawa citizen obituaries this week

“This week” overlaps with the past-seven-days filter but sometimes includes notices published since Sunday midnight, depending on how Postmedia calculates the rolling window. Betty Clough appeared in recent weekly listings alongside other names that crossed the Ottawa Citizen obituary section.

Current week notices

Notices published from Monday through today represent the current week’s additions. Anne Jolicoeur (April 19, 2026) and Sandra Mary Pepperdine (age 85, passed April 17, 2026 after a short illness) both appeared in the most recent listings, showing how the platform captures deaths across different age groups and circumstances.

All notice types view

The Ottawa Citizen obituary section includes not only death notices but also in-memoriam requests, memorial service announcements, and celebration-of-life notices. Kevin Brian O’Connor’s memorial service was held at 11:00 am on Sunday, February 15, at Kelly Funeral Home – Somerset Chapel (585 Somerset St. West, Ottawa), with donations requested to St. Joe’s Supper Table.

Ottawa Sun obituaries today

The Ottawa Sun shares editorial ownership with the Ottawa Citizen under Postmedia’s umbrella. Their obituary listings sometimes differ because individual families choose which publication to use, though both ultimately route through the same remembering.ca platform.

Alternative local sources

Beyond the Ottawa Citizen and Ottawa Sun, funeral homes such as Tubman Funeral Homes publish their own obituaries directly. Diana Harten-Jones (age 66, died April 15, 2026) and Barbara MacMillan (passed March 30, 2026) appeared on Tubman’s site rather than through the Ottawa Citizen’s platform.

Related Ottawa publications

Cross-referencing multiple sources catches notices families may have submitted to different outlets. Remembering.ca aggregates notices across Postmedia’s entire Canadian network, which means searches on the Ottawa Citizen’s version sometimes surface entries originally published elsewhere in Ontario.

Summary

For readers searching for specific Ottawa obituaries, the remembering.ca platform offers the most direct access to today’s listings with date filtering that steps back through recent days, weeks, or a full month. Families planning memorials should note that Kevin Brian O’Connor’s service at Kelly Funeral Home and similar notices show the platform captures service arrangements alongside death announcements. Cross-checking Tubman Funeral Homes and the Ottawa Sun ensures comprehensive coverage when a name doesn’t appear in the expected location, giving families the best chance of finding relevant notices regardless of which outlet originally published them.
