Dorothy was born on September 28, 1918, to Florence and Roland Hayward. She grew up in Transcona and Crescentwood and graduated from Kelvin High School. Dor married Arthur Strock on February 19, 1948. Dor had a very active family and social life in Fort Garry. She was a member of the St. Pauls Anglican Church Ladies Auxiliary, was the Wildwood Clubs Ladies Golf Champion and was a member of the Provincial Senior Ladies Curling Championship team. She loved spending summers at Victoria Beach while the girls were growing up. She had wonderful memories of her winter holidays with Art in Hawaii. Since she and Art retired, Dor loved shopping with her daughters and granddaughters, Saturday lunches with the family, coffee with the gang at Grant Park, playing bridge, going to the Refit Center, reading mysteries, and spending time with Art in their new apartment.

For Mom Look to this day! For it is life, the very existence of life. In its brief course lie all the verities And realities of your existence: The bliss of growth, The glory of action, The splendour of beauty; For yesterday is but a dream And tomorrow is but a vision; But today, well lived, makes every day A dream of happiness And every tomorrow A vision of hope. Look well, therefore, to this day. Arrangements entrusted to: CHAPEL LAWN FUNERAL HOME CEMETERY AND CREMATORIUM 885-9715
