Dorothy was born on December 22nd, 1949 in Portage la Prairie Manitoba. She grew up with her five siblings and many cousins. Dorothy moved to Winnipeg in 1967. She went to hairdressing school and received her hair dressing certificate. She then worked for the Province of Manitoba, where she met her husband Robert. They married on July 17th, 1982.
After having children, Dorothy was a stay-at-home mom, dedicating all her time and energy to her family and volunteering at the school, including being on the parent council for several years. She spent countless hours making meals, baking, and looking for new recipes to try out. In recent years, Dorothy has spent much of her time with her three grandchildren. She lit up anytime they were nearby and cherished every moment she got to spend with them.
The family would like to thank the excellent paramedics and staff at St. Boniface Hospital for their care of Dorothy in her final days. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Cystic Fibrosis Canada or to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada in Dorothy’s name.
