DOROTHY DALZELL Peacefully slipped away from us on September 15, 2002. Celebrating her life, Oswald her loving husband of 54 years; daughters, Ginny and Ted, Maureen and James; grandchildren, Kristofer (Angela), Jordy, Michael (Andrea), Leah and Jenna. Dot was born in Yorkton, SK on June 24, 1921. She lived in Regina until the age of 21, when she joined the R.C.A.F., Womens Division, where she served on several bases throughout Canada, teaching physical training. Upon her discharge in 1945, Dot went to Montreal, working in War Assets, where she met Ossie. Their married life began in Northwestern Ontario, August 28, 1948. Subsequently, two daughters were born, to Dots great joy. Thus began her love of sewing frilly dresses, something which never diminished during her lifetime. In 1954, the odyssey continued with a move to Toronto, followed by subsequent moves to Morrisburg, Ottawa and in 1968, to Winnipeg. All during Moms life, she had a great love of both sports, and arts and crafts. She won her first athletic medal at age 13 in Regina, which began her life as an athlete. In the Air Force, she taught physical training and developed a love of softball, which continued upon discharge. She took great pride in playing in a womens semi-professional league. Mom continued her active participation in a variety of sports, including badminton, curling, bowling and finally, her great passion at age 60, golf. During these years, Moms life was also enriched by her love of painting and arts and crafts, but especially by a wonderful love of family, fun and laughter. She did it all! Yesterday is already a dream. And tomorrow is only a vision; But today, well lived, makes every yesterday a dream of happiness and every tomorrow a vision of hope. Please join with us, her family, in celebration and remembrance of her life on Friday, September 20 at the Wildewood Club, 761 North Dr., Fort Garry, from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. There is great joy in your release, but we miss you already.
