Following the passing of her first husband Don, Dorothy found happiness again with Les in 1989. They enjoyed travelling to places like Alaska and Nova Scotia. Moving back to Lundar led Dorothy back to her country roots. She enjoyed all aspects of country life such as coffee with the neighbours and the many evening drives looking for deer. Dorothy loved collecting dolls and teddy bears. She had a story for each one. Dorothy has many happy memories of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. The family would like to thank all the staff at the Eriksdale and St. Boniface Hospitals for their care and kindness towards Dorothy.
