Dorothy was born and lived in Winnipeg near her son Kenneth (Lynn) up until March of 2003 where she resided with her son Wilfred (Linda) in Mission, BC and was close to her daughter Valerie (Ron) of Abbotsford, BC. Dorothy really enjoyed this time given to her, and all were happy to see the joy and new-found strength that she was able to have in this time. Dorothy dedicated her life to raising her children and working in the hospitality field. She retired in 1975. Her retirement was to attend bingo and meet new friends. Her hobby was to knit, as her hands were not to be idle. Many friend have her dollies and many babies have been wrapped in her blankets.
