Dorothy was born on May 5, 1927 in the Carn Ridge District. She grew up on the family farm and attended Carn Ridge School.

Dorothy and Ed were instrumental in helping to build the Ashern Legion, of which they were very proud. In younger years Dorothy loved to play the guitar, sing and dance. She enjoyed cooking and attending to her garden. She spent countless hours, sewing and knitting for her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Her greatest love was her family. The family thanks the doctors, nurses and staff at the Lakeshore General Hospital in Ashern, the Victoria Hospital in Winnipeg, and the Winnipeg Convalescent Home for the wonderful care they gave our mom, and the thoughtfulness they showed our family in our time of need. A special thank you to Pastor Kolleen for her comforting words and for the last Communion Mom received the night before her passing. It is deeply appreciated and will never be forgotten.
