Dorothy "Dot" (Dunn) Walsh

2021 at the age of 93, after a brief illness.

Born in Atholville, on 1 April, 1928, the daughter of Henry Dunn and Dora Hutchison, Dorothy

was the eldest daughter in a family of eleven children. Dorothy grew up with a passion for

education and teaching, leaving Shannonvale for Teacher’s College in Fredericton after high

school. The many train trips back and forth between home and college is where she met the

love of her life, Burnie Walsh. They married and settled in Shannonvale and later Dalhousie

where they made their home.

Dorothy spent many years teaching at Dalhousie’s Don Bosco School, The Academy, L.E.R. and

working for the local school district. She enjoyed meeting her former students around town and

discovering the impact she had on their lives.

She was predeceased by her husband, Burnie Walsh and daughter Gail as well as both parents

and her eight brothers, Arnold, Henry, Carl, Arthur, Ernest, Ivan, Rundle, and Albert.

Left to celebrate her life are daughter Deb Walsh (Charlie Dean), son Todd Walsh (Jennifer),

grandchildren Dax Nitishin (Sonya), MacKenzie Donovan-Walsh and Cassidy Walsh and great

grandchildren Nixon and Jaxen Nitishin, sisters Maxine Glencross and Merica Robinson and

many nieces, nephews and friends.

Words cannot describe the special thanks for the care by Debbie Pitre and Elaine McKay and

the nurses and doctors of the Campbellton Regional Hospital over the past several months.

There will be no service or visitation at the funeral home.

Funeral arrangements were entrusted in the care of Maher's Funeral Home, Campbellton.
