DOROTHY ANN AUSLAND Dorothy Ann Ausland (nee Venn) died peacefully after a long struggle with cancer on October 30, 2011. She was born on July 9, 1936, in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

She will be sadly missed by many other relatives and friends. Dorothy grew up in Winnipeg and Portage la Prairie, Manitoba. She and Selmer were married in British Columbia, but lived most of their married life in Winnipeg, eventually moving to Barrie, Ontario, shortly after their retirement. Dorothy loved being with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and one of her favourite pastimes was knitting them all types of clothing. She also enjoyed doing puzzles and taking drives with her family to the country. Cremation has taken place with a burial service to be held in Portage la Prairie planned in the spring. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Manitoba Division of the Canadian Cancer Society located at 193 Sherbrook Street, Winnipeg, Manitoba, R3C 2B7.
