Dorothy was born and raised in Moose Jaw, SK. She graduated as a Registered Nurse from the Moose Jaw General Hospital in 1941. She married Jay in 1942 during the war.
Dorothy will be remembered as being very kind and generous, and she had a beautiful smile. She worked at the Swan River Hospital for thirty years, on Maternity. After retirement, she worked for Halliday’s Ambulance until she was seventy five years old.
Mom enjoyed spending summers at their beloved cottage at Wellman Lake, and enjoyed going south in the winters to Hemet, California, as well as visiting Ron and family in Thailand.
Her last six years were spent in White Rock, B.C. at the Peninsula Retirement Home, and for the past two years with her daughter, Trish. She lived life to the full, and she will be dearly missed.
A funeral service was held on November 8th, 2012 from Temple Baptist Church, Swan River, Manitoba with Jerry Marek and Robert Ter Horst officiating.
Interment followed at Birchwood Cemetery, Swan River, Manitoba.
Urn Bearers were Doug Ter Horst, John Ter Horst, Robert Ter Horst and Jeffery Leadbeater.
All of Dorothy’s grandchildren were to consider themselves as honorary pallbearers.
Paull Funeral Home and Crematorium was honored to have served the family.
