DOROTHY JEAN PETERSON November 18, 1925 - February 23, 2000 It is with great sadness that we, the family, announce the passing away of our beloved wife, mom, baba gramma, friend and angel, Dorothy, at the Seven Oaks Hospital on Wednesday, February 23, 2000. Dorothy was predeceased by her parents, James and Janet Laurie and sisters, Marnie and Gert; brother Bob. Dorothy is survived by her sister Alice and brothers, Bill, George, Danny and Gordie; sister-in-law Kay and brother-in-law Bill and numerous nieces and nephews.

Dorothy is our real treasure, she was a beautiful, kind, loving woman who put family and friends above all else. She took great joy in her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
