• I always had fond memories of my Aunt Dot. Dot is a nickname I gave her when she helped me redo Mom's craft room. We were painting and she had paint dots all over her. I always enjoyed spending time with her going out shopping and lunch. I love the slippers she knitted and gave us a new pair every Christmas. I remember the naughty jokes she used to tell me ---- I think for shock value to make me go red lol. My Auntie was like a crusty roll - tough on the outside but soft on the inside. Will miss you Auntie. Our condolences go out to George and his family. - Posted by: Pat and Bob Collins (Niece ) on: Dec 25, 2015

• Our sister will be sadly missed. She was always there in our lives. She taught me many words that I never knew the meaning of as she was an avid reader. She had a connection with Ray in their younger years as we lived next door to him. She always had pet names for all the sisters and miY name was Cousa. We give our appreciation to Auntie Jeanne for caring for her for the many years that passed by. She always managed to give Dorothy money and grocery shopping and taking care of her apartment when Dorothy was handicapped. We are sorry that she had to carry Dorothy's burden. My sister Dorothy is at peace. She is in God's hands. - Posted by: Elizabeth and Ray (family) on: Dec 23, 2015

• Very fond memories of visiting Aunt Dorothy and uncle John's along with our new Arborg relations. Ditch fishing, Goose hunting, and a great outdoor experience. I loved her opinion, and my dad would say "you'd better believe it ,and don't you forget it".. Many a party happened at that kitchen table, even though it was small in Aunt Dorothy's place, she always found room for one more person, be it a sister, brother-in -law, nephew, niece, neighbor or friend, it was always open arms. Aunty I will miss you, love you and always remember the great times. Serious blessings and thanks to George, Pat, Jeff aunt Jenny, Gerry and all those who called, cared and assisted my Aunt Dorothy.Your contribution to her life is who you are.

• I left Winnipeg in 1978 and living now in Vancouver but whenever I visited Winnipeg I visited with all the aunts.After Aunty Lil's passing I'd pick up Auntie Jeannie and Auntie Dorothy to go over to Auntie Claudie's (sometimes stopping first at Kelekis for hotdogs and fries). I was a junior bridesmaid at Auntie Dorothy's wedding but what I remember most is visiting them when they lived in Arborg with my parents Harry and Vera. We knew all the Chomovski clan and always had fun together- especially the ditch fishing! My Auntie Jeannie will miss her a lot given all they did together and having lived in the same building for years. They had daily interaction and with Auntie Dorothy's poor health and poor mobility Auntie Jeannie did all the shopping for her, cooking many meals and running errands. As Auntie Dorothy's emergency contact, Auntie Jeannie was on call at all hours of the day and night looking after her. Rest in peace Auntie Dorothy. May the Lord give comfort to those grieving her loss. With love. - Posted by: Diane Hansen nee Seniuk (Niece) on: Dec 22, 2015

• Aunt Dorothy was always a joy to visit when Marlene and I returned to Winnipeg. We had good talks about the family history and who was who in photos her sister Lillian kept. Mom and Dad often took us out to the farm and we had many adventure picking berries and mushrooms. Our condolences go out to George and his family. We will certainly miss her larger than life laugh and sitting in the garden at the care home telling her about our sons and our adventures. - Posted by: Mark and Marlene Podwysocki (Nephew) on: Dec 21, 2015

• I would like to extend my deepest condolences to the family of Dorothy. May she rest in peace in the arms of Jesus. I would also like to extend my condolences to Jenny and Elizabeth. Jenny was Dorothy's only surviving sister in Winnipeg and was close to Dorothy, supporting her in any she could during her illness. May God bless her in her time of grieving. - Posted by: Gordon Giesbrecht (Friend) on: Dec 19, 2015

• I loved my Aunties laugh..... when we came for visits in Winnipeg she was always ready for a hug and was very generous in making slippers and ceramics for Bryce and I. When we got married she was ready with a gift to send with her sister flying to the States. I have saved all of the Christmas cards from her, and will miss sending her notes and cards. My mother Jenny was by her side for all the years they lived in the same building. Helping Dorothy with shopping, cooking food and sharing it with her sister. Grocery shopping for her, and being there for her when she had many trips to the hospital in the middle of the night. Bless Jenny for her devotion and loss of her closest sister... - Posted by: Bryce and Deborah Rutledge (Niece) on: Dec 19, 2015
