DOROTHY LAURA TYERS It is with great sadness that the family of Dorothy Laura Tyers announces her sudden passing on November 20, 2011 at the age of 82. Dorothy was born June 12, 1929 and grew up in Winnipeg, MB. She was employed at James Richardson Sons for many years in Winnipeg before moving with her husband Bill to Victoria, BC in the early 1970s. Dorothy continued to work as an accountant until her retirement in Sidney, BC and devoted many years as a care giver to Bill during his battle with multiple sclerosis. Dorothy and Bill had a cottage at Lake Brereton, MB where they spent many summers entertaining family and friends, fishing, boating, and just having a good time. She was a very caring and loving person who enjoyed meeting new people and spending time with friends, loved to travel, and took great pleasure in sharing the beauty of Vancouver Island with family and friends when they came to visit. Dorothy's constant companions were her pets. Her passion for animals was evident by the loving home she provided for her many dogs and cats. Dogs and cats lived together in perfect harmony in their home with Dorothy, all supported by her love for them. Dot, or Aunty Dot, to all of us who knew and loved her, will always be fondly remembered and forever in our hearts. We'll miss her. She is survived by her brother Tom (Mary) Dewar, brother-in-law Donovan (Joyce) Tyers, and many in-laws, nieces, nephews, and their families. Dorothy was predeceased by her husband, William Frederick (Bill) Tyers, her brother Edward (Ted) Dewar, and her sisters Margaret (Dewar) Hewitt, and Christina (Dewar) Murray. In memory of Dot, donations can be made to the Victoria SPCA at Victoria@spca.gc.ca A celebration of life will be held at a later date. Condolences may be directed to the family at JadeTyers@gmail.com.
