DOROTHY SANDERS Dorothy "Dode" Florence Grace Sanders (nee Cole), aged 92, passed peacefully on May 12, 2017 at Oakview Place Extendicare. Dorothy was born May 26, 1924 in Indian Head, Saskatchewan, the daughter of Harvey and Levina Cole. Mom attended Weyburn School of Commerce and upon graduation in 1943, moved to Winnipeg where she pursued a career with the Bank of Commerce. She was united in marriage to Keith Glen Sanders on October 9, 1954. Several years later she gave up her career to be a devoted wife and full-time Mom. Mom was an active volunteer at both Clifton School, Clifton Community Club, and the Women's Auxiliary at Grace General Hospital. In later years, she was a dedicated volunteer for Child Find Manitoba. Dad preceded her death March 21, 1989, and she was predeceased by her sister Irene Ritter of Vancouver, BC, April 4, 2015. Mom will be remembered with much love and affection by her son Don of Saskatoon, SK, daughter Wendy, and her precious grandchildren - Brenden and Krysten. Mom was a very loving person who could always see the good in a difficult situation and in everyone she met. She continued to put others needs before her own right up to her passing. Family and friends meant everything to her. There will be a private service for immediate family members at Chapel Lawn at a later date. In lieu of flowers, if friends so desire, memorial donations may be made to: Alzheimer Society of Manitoba, CancerCare Manitoba, or the charity of your choice.
