Dorothy was dearly loved by her family and friends. Most important to her were family, friends, faith and community. Her optimism, resilience, generosity, and many talents were her most outstanding characteristics.
We especially wish to give our heartfelt thanks to VIHA’s Home Support Staff who provided excellent care for mom for sixteen months, as well as the staff at Dufferin Place, Nanaimo for their compassionate care while she resided in the Cedar Unit. Thank you also to staff at Yates Funeral Service and Crematorium for their guidance and care.
No service will be held in Nanaimo.
A gathering of family and friends will be held at Beechmount Cemetary, Edmonton in 2017 when Mom’s urn will be placed in Les’ plot.
We treasure the memories
Mom has left with us.
