She is predeceased by her husband of 61 years, Hing Fun Lee. She is survived by her five children; Edward (Eileen Kenkel and Eileen’s son Mike), Diana (Jim Ehmann and Diana’s children, Stephan and Samantha), Brenda, Sandra (Don Campbell and their children, Haley and Jack), and Andrew (Sue Bornemisza and their children, Siobhan and Davis). Brenda deserves special mention as she was the family’s point person to look in on and keep Mom company as her health declined.
Also to be mentioned are Mom’s daily caregivers; Mariefe Lanuza (with son Christian) and Johanna Montalban Carillo (with daughter Jhanna). They pampered Hing and Dorothy. They brought smiles to their faces through their love and friendship. Thank you to two wonderful women and their children. We would also like to mention the care given by the wonderful staff at Bowview Manor.
Dorothy devoted herself to her husband and children. Dorothy was a homemaker, ensuring the success of all five of her children, and later on grandchildren. She taught her children the value of a strong work ethic by focusing their attention to school, piano, and having fun. Dorothy always had a wicked sense of humor which was experienced by all who came to know her. Her spice for life was shared with her family as they took many summer vacations in the trailer. She made their house a home no matter where the family moved, Swift Current, Kindersley, Estevan, Regina and finally Calgary. For a time, Dorothy worked at the Co-op in Calgary where she made good friends and earned a pension of her own (of which she was very proud). As her children grew and started families of their own, Dorothy’s focus turned to her growing list of grandchildren. Naturally this fostered family gatherings on an annual basis, the bigger the better. She loved family above all else. Family is the most important possession one can have, a lesson she instilled in the entire Lee clan.
Dorothy was a friend to many, mother to five, grandmother to seven, and loved by all. Her spirit and wit will be greatly missed.
