Her parents, Ernest and Mable House came to Canada from England and settled in Willen, MB. Ernest passed away in 1929 and Mabel and Dora moved to Winnipeg, where she attended St. Alphonsus School in East Kildonan.

She loved her family and enjoyed organizing large family gatherings for Christmas, Easter and Thanksgiving at her residence at the Riverside Lions. She was always busy planning Saturday morning coffee with her family, which became a well-known tradition in her apartment at Riverside Lions. Mom enjoyed sending birthday, anniversary and Christmas cards to family which she continued into her late 90s.
A private family mass will be held on Monday, July 5, 2021 at St. Emile Parish, with interment to follow at Glen Lawn Cemetery.

Mrs St. Laurent was a lovely lady. I have fond memories of growing up on Worthington with my very good friend Pat Saint Laurent. Mrs. St Laurent would babysit my brother Bradley and I spent many hours over visiting and having lovely meals cooked by Mrs. St. Laurent. And of course, my parents were friends with Mr and Mrs. St. Laurent. If Pat reads this would like to go for a drink... My condolences - Posted by: Glen King (Friend of family ) on: Sep 29, 2021

My sincerest condolences to Dora's family. I met Dora at church through my Mom (CWL). She put together a care package for me when I was a single mother. I saw her at church and church functions. She was an amazing woman always involved and always helping someone. She had such a big heart. Although my children didn't attend church as regularly as I did, they knew who Dora was! Before covid I took some of the students I worked with to dust the railings at riverside and everytime I passed her doorway I'd lightly touch her door and whisper hello. I will miss her dearlyā¯¤ - Posted by: Jennifer Talaga (Friend) on: Jul 06, 2021
