Growing up she made friends easily and retained those friendships throughout her life. She had a keen sense of humour and a positive attitude toward life. She enjoyed socializing with family and friends, especially over a good cup of coffee and some sweets. Dora loved card games, board games, and watching baseball, Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy. Mom had a real love of life and all the joys it brought. She was known for her unusual sense of humour and quick wit. She learned the joys of music as her mother and aunties were a great inspiration. As a young woman she worked at a bank and credit union. Later on she was a farm wife and took on the chores that came with it. As a dedicated mother, Dora always took time for her children, and involved herself in their interests. Although mom struggled with health issues for the last thirty years she was able to maintain a positive and feisty spirit.
