I was very sorry to hear about Dorothy. She was one of my Grandmother Fran’s favourite people and a lovely person. Sending condolences to her family
I have many fond memories of Dorothy from over the years. She was one of my dad’s best friends and we would spend time together at church or when my dad would take me to visit with her, Ken, and Mitzy at her home or at the trailer. Dorothy always had a big smile and a hug for me. She had a way of making people feel loved and important. My dad loved to make her laugh, perhaps in part because she had such a wonderful laugh. In many ways, Dorothy became a bit like an adopted grandma for me over the years. I was so happy that she was able to come to my wedding just before the pandemic, and that we got to share that happy time together. I will remember her with love and great fondness. My family and I send our sincere condolences to her family and loved ones. Xo

Like many others have mentioned, we will miss her laugh.
