Dorothy Rice

November 7, 1923 - November 1, 2014

Florence "Dorothy" Rice died peacefully with her husband by her side, at the age of 90 years.

She is survived by her loving husband of 69 years, Howard, and will be lovingly remembered by her four sons, Doug (Cat), Jim, Tom (Deb) and Steve.

She will be missed by her Grandchildren: Chris, Nathan, Meaghan, Kayleigh, Lindsay, Mitchell, Andrew, Michael, Morgan, Jami, Joe and Great-grandchildren: Laila, Emily, Ava and Benjamin. Dorothy is also survived by her only sister, Fran.

She was predeceased by her grandson Duncan, daughter-in-law Lauren, brother-in-law Ron and nephew Neil.

Dorothy was born in Saskatoon and grew up in living in CN Rail Stations with her parents, Frank and Florence Gregory, and her sister Fran. She met Howie in Asquith and they were wed following his return from war service. They lived and raised their family in Regina, and developed a close group of dear friends.

There followed stints in Kenya and Nepal with CIDA, and then retirement in Osoyoos, BC. Dorothy was a beautiful, caring woman. She loved travel and always amazed us with her detailed recall of her many trips. She loved to read and always had a book nearby. Her potted plants thrived -- her hibiscus bloomed on her final morning.

Dorothy was a loving wife, mom and grandma, and we miss her dearly.

Cremation has taken place and there will be a private family service at a later date.
