My first recollection of meeting Dorothy was in 1959, when she married my cousin Donald. They would come out to the farm to visit quite often. Dorothy was a quiet mannered person. She would sit quietly amongst her new family, who talked a lot and loudly.
Times weren’t always easy; life threw all of us obstacles to get through and Dorothy had her share of it. Dorothy worked hard, too hard…in my opinion. She was a caregiver through the years, and cared for both children and seniors. She never complained…not to me. Didn’t have unkind words to say about anyone; but, when she did it was called for.
Dorothy loved to sew and was good at it. Sewed a lot for family and friends, and later on in years did alterations for people like me. Dorothy was also a good cook. Her children can speak to that. She is well known for her delicious buns.
Family meant everything to Dorothy. She loved her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, loved her extended family, loved her friends and dog. Dorothy was the happiest when she was with family and friends.
Love you, Dorothy
Rest in Peace
