Dorothy Delores Pereira

Dorothy went peacefully to Our Lord in Heaven September 9, 2016 with her loving family by her side. She was born to Raymond and Gertrude Lindsey in Marysville, Wa. on August 8, 1928, the youngest of six children.

Dorothy married Joseph Pereira in 1946 and they enjoyed sixty nine wonderful years together until his passing in December 2015. She is survived by her loving children – Joe Pereira, Jr. (Nid), Joleen Younger (Stephen) and Jody Heiser (Kevin) – six grandchildren and eleven great grandchildren. She is survived by one brother – Raymond Lindsey.

She was a member of the Elks Emblem Club and the Pocahontas Redmond Lodge. Dorothy retired from the Everett School District in 1988 as the head cook at Cascade High School.

Dorothy’s greatest joys included sewing, bowling, traveling, playing all types of card games with her many friends and going to any casino. Her greatest joy of all was her family. She loved any kind of activity with them.

She was a resident of Washington Oakes and enjoyed living there for 1 ½ years, making many friends during this time. Dorothy touched many people with her joy and kindness in her long and wonderful life. She will truly be missed but never forgotten.

We would like to thank all the ICU Nurses and Doctors at Providence Hospital that took such good care of her during her short time there - and a special thanks to Dr. Laird Findlay.
