On March 7, 1922, Dorothy was born on the homestead in the Municipality of Rossburn, Manitoba. As a young woman, she moved to Winnipeg and took up a career as a seamstress. Later she changed careers and spent the next 21 years working in the operating rooms at the Health Sciences Centre; retiring in the Spring of 1987.
She was a loving and caring mother to Jennifer. Dorothy, Stan and Jennifer enjoyed many years at their cottage in Grand Marais. Each of them appreciated the friendships with their Winnipeg and cottage neighbours.
The family would like to extend many thanks to the wonderful staff on the second floor of the Poseidon Care Centre for their compassionate care over the years.
