Born in Oshawa and raised in Belleville, Dorothy moved to Cambridge when her husband was transferred with his job. Dorothy was a devoted wife and mother. Although she worked many different jobs over the years, her primary role was raising her children and supporting her husband. Dorothy retired from her position as Administrative Clerk at the Cambridge Hospital in 1986 after a 12 year rewarding career. For many years Dorothy was involved in many associations and activities and was recognized for her contributions and support. She was instrumental in establishing and supporting Trinity Community Table supplying meals for the underprivileged in the community. In 2015 Dorothy received the Women of Distinction Lifetime Award presented annually by the YWCA for over 35 years of service to the community. Dorothy was well liked and loved by many throughout her life. She leaves behind a large void that will be difficult to fill. She will be missed. In lieu of flowers Dorothy would appreciate donations be made to Trinity Community Table, Canadian Diabetes Association, Heart and Stroke or the Breast Cancer Society.
