Dorothy was a special lady, full of fun and eternally young. After she moved away from MD, we stayed in touch by email. I shall miss her. My deepest sympathy to all of her family.

Although I knew Dorothy for only a few months I enjoyed her spirit, her good manners and her stories of her early life. She obviously had high standards for everything she did.We had some very pleasant visits together and I will remember her with admiration and respect for the way she met adversity. M respect also to Sean whose attentions added to her life at Shuksan. My condolences to her whole family.

I shall greatly miss Dorothy, in fact had already missed her as time and health had robbed her. We shared life and roots with her from Peetz. She always signed herself as Aunt Dot but she was infact a cousin. Her mother and my Grandmother were sisters. She would laugh and acknowlege that fact with the quip that the “cousin” thing was too complicated. We enjoyed talking about how life had changed in our lifetimes. I remember once talking about telephones and what is now referred to as “social media”, she remarked how the coming of the telephone had improved her social life. She was one of the overlooked “greatest generation”, a woman who stayed home and wondered at what the future held. She now, is reunited with another of my favorite people, her mother, Aunt Rosie.
