DOROTHY CATHERINE DERLAGO On September 20, 1999, peacefully, with her family by her side, Dorothy Catherine Derlago left us to be with the Lord. Dorothy was born January 2, 1925 in Halifax, NS where she lived for 34 years before moving with her family to Winnipeg, residing there from 1958 - 1998 and then to Chase, BC on October 1, 1998. Throughout her life in Winnipeg, Dorothy was a member of the Kildonan Presbyterian Church and the Mary Nesbitt Society. She enjoyed bowling, knitting, swimming, (teaching her children and grandchildren to swim), and a passion for cooking her special dishes for family and friends. Dorothy will be sadly missed by her loving husband Lawrence; children, Ron and wife Bea of Grande Cache, Barry and wife Linda of Winnipeg, Debbie and husband Gary of Red Deer, son Laurie of Vancouver; grandchildren, Ryan, Amber, Jeremi, Kari, Jordan and Ashley, all of whom she loved so much.

Many thanks go to the special care workers of Chase Home Support Service, nurses of 7 South at Royal Inland Hospital, Kamloops, and Drs. Michael Vagyi and Jill Calder for their compassion and care to Mom and us all that went far beyond their professional duties. Also thanks to Dorothys sister Joyce for her support this past year.
