Dorothy was born and raised in Carman, MB, until at the age of 16 when she moved with her family to Winnipeg where she completed her education at Gordon Bell High School. Dorothy enjoyed many sports. As a school girl she loved to ice skate, particularly on co-ed evenings when there was music playing. While working as a bookkeeper at Hazen Stationery, she joined an evening bowling league and met her husband to be. She continued to bowl until well into her eighties enjoying the post-game lunches and shopping with her friends. She liked to golf and took great delight being first on the course with Art at the local par 3. She was an enthusiastic supporter of her grandchildrens sporting activities. In her senior years, Dorothy became an avid bridge player participating in many bridge tournaments, and partnered with her friend, Lou, for several years in the University Womens Club of Winnipeg, Marathon Bridge Club. She was very proud of her gold medal in the All Seniors Games in 2013 - 2014 while a resident at Seine River Retirement Residence. She loved to travel. Her overseas trips to Greece, Japan, China, Thailand, Russia, England and Ireland provided happy memories and amusing stories to be told time and time again. Many hours were devoted to volunteer work with the UCW at John Black Church. She was an active member of the Khartum Ladies Auxiliary and the Daughters of the Nile, Sphinx Temple #116 Patrol Unit.
