It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, Dorothy Georgina Chalmers (nee Wallin), on Saturday, September 20, 2025, at the age of eighty-seven.
Dorothy leaves her daughters; Barbara Holmes, Pattie Chalmers (Evan Kroeker), Carolyn Chalmers and her grandchildren; Amanda Holmes and Logan McNabb to mourn her. She was predeceased by her loving husband of 63 years, Jim, her parents Vern and Elsie Wallin, her brother George Wallin, and her sister-in-law Elaine Forrest (Jim).
Dorothy was born on August 1, 1938, in Kenora, Ontario to Vern and Elsie Wallin, who raised her and her brother George to appreciate nature, family, friends, good stories, pickled herring, and coffee with cinnamon buns. Dorothy attended Kenora-Keewatin District High School. In 1962, she and Jim moved to Winnipeg where they raised their family in St. Vital.
Dorothy loved her girls, her grandkids, her son-in-law, her friends, "her” dogs, beautiful flowers and cute animals. She liked to tease, and be silly, and laugh. She was the source of information from; how to can jelly, to who lived where on her street, to how to pickle a herring, to how to knit socks. Her absence has left a big hole, and she is painfully missed. We love you too, Mom!
In lieu of flowers, please donate to Canadian Heart and Stroke.
