She is survived by her loving husband of 66 years, John Zastre, and their children, Monique Zastre, Michael Zastre, Tony Zastre (Tina), Lucille Zastre (Matt) and Theresa Ramgren (Fred).

Dorothy was born in Winnipeg, the youngest of four girls, in 1937. She met her true love, John, on Valentine's Day in 1955 in Winnipeg and they were married in 1958 in Vancouver, BC. Throughout the years Dorothy and John built a life together in Vancouver, Prince George, Cache Creek and finally in Kamloops. She was an avid reader of mystery novels who loved crossword and jigsaw puzzles. She loved music (especially Roy Orbison) and was an excellent dancer.

Her family would like to extend heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Sigalet and the care team at Gemstone, especially on the Copper ward. Donations in memory to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or to the Kamloops Chapter of the Canadian Mental Health Association are appreciated.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, February 1, 2025, at The Odd Fellows & Rebekah's Hall, 423 Tranquille Rd., Kamloops, BC.
