In Loving Memory of

It is with great sadness, but cherished memories, that the family announces the peaceful passing of Dorothy at the age of 92 years.

Dorothy will be lovingly remembered by her 3 children: Brenda (Andy) Smith, Randy (Lorraine) and Brad (Brenda); 7 grandchildren: Michael, Stephen, Heather, Amanda, Trevor, Brett and Alyssa; great grandchildren: Fallon, Dale, Thomas and an eagerly awaited fourth great grandchild due in November.

She was predeceased by her husband, Murray who passed away in 1980; her parents, and all of her 9 siblings.

Dorothy was born on a farm near London, Ontario, the 3rd youngest in a family of 10 kids. Dorothy and Murray were married in 1950, moved to Edmonton shortly thereafter, and became early residents of Sherwood Park in 1960. Dorothy was a loving mother, grandmother and great grandmother who was active, loved to travel, was always ready to share a laugh and a lifelong volunteer in Sherwood Park. Dorothy loved to play games and always played to win. Ask her grandchildren!
