Remembering family members lost to COVID-19: ‘He was such a happy person’

At the one-year point of the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, North Quabbin residents — especially those who have lost a loved one — look back on the coronavirus with added perspective.
For Carrie Collins of Athol, the virus hit her family with a double punch: She lost her 73-year-old uncle, Ralph Bowers, to COVID-19 and she, her daughter and her parents also battled the infection.
Bowers was a resident of Quabbin Valley Healthcare in Athol.
“My mom and her brother, Ralph, had been living in the facility for a couple of years,” she said. “Before the pandemic hit, I’d go and visit regularly. After it closed its doors to visitors, I went over now and then to visit from outside.”
