Awe so long sweet Dorothy! You told me once how you were having your party before you left and wanted me to come, I am so sorry I am away and couldn’t come to say goodbye.

I’m so sorry to hear of Dorothy’s passing. What a lady! She contributed so much to her community through all of her volunteer work and she had such great spunk and personality. She absolutely adored her family and treasured time spent with her kids, grandkids and GG kids. RIP Dorothy.

Dorothy was an outgoing person who loved to help out. Volunteering at the hospital for many years. She was a good friend and my Mom was lucky to have her as a friend. They enjoyed playing cards and going to the meat draws at the legion . Unfortunately these things came to an end when my Moms health declined. May Dorothy rest in peace . Condolences to all the family and friends of Dorothy. She was proud of all of you
Sincere condolences to Pat, Jeff ,Brian and all of Dorothy’s family.
Always enjoyed talking to Dorothy when we met. Even though she
lived a long and great life, it is hard to lose a mother and grandma.
May she rest in peace.

Dorothy was a marvel of a lady! I remember 20 years ago when I was in hospital in London. John was at LHSC on commissioners rd. Campus. She heard I was in Parkwood across the road so she bought me a donut and came over for a wee visit. Such a loving and caring lady she was. The world can use a few more “Dorothy’s!!!
My deepest condolences to all.

Great memories of working with Dorothy on the AMGH Auxiliary. She was a much appreciated example of meaningful community engagement.
Dorothy was an Auxilian at AMGH for many years and her energy was an inspiration. I have thought of her often over the years since I last saw her. She was lovely, kind and giving. Hugs to Dorothy’s family.

What a wonderful woman, my mom and aunt Ada were such good friends with Dorothy so many years ago. Her life was filled with many obstacles but she climbed over them and carried on. Many hearts in the town of Goderich will feel her loss.
What a blessing to have known her Jo-Anne Homan
Our deepest condolences. R.I.P. Dan and Carol DeMers
My sincere sympathy to Pat, Jeff and Brian and their families on the passing of a true Goderich icon. Dorothy seemed to always be here, from her long time with Bluewater Cleaners to meeting her on the street last year at the market on the Square. She was always cheerful and so proud of how independent she was. It was a pleasurer to know Dorothy and I will miss her. There will be lots of family stories for future family gatherings. Kind regards, Peggy
Deepest Sympathy to all of Dorothy’s family.
You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Donna, sending my heartfelt
Condolences, love and prayers to you and your families. May you find comfort and peace in the love and memories you shared with your dear Mom.
My mother, Jean Marlatt, was a long-time member of the AMGH auxiliary. When i moved to Goderich in 2004 i also joined the auxiliary where i met Dorothy. Dorothy was a power-house in volunteering for in-hospital patient services as well as fundraising functions. She managed the volunteers for assisting in day surgery putting in long hours training, scheduling and filling in for volunteers who were unable to fill their shift. The hospital staff all loved Dorothy. She served on a hospital committee as well as numerous auxiliary services helping staff help patients. Throughout it all, Dorothy was a fashion inspiration to us younger members. Providing an example of aging with grace, dignity and with a stylish wardrobe.
So sorry to hear of Aunt Dottie’s passing. Sending heartfelt condolences to her family.
Remembering a very classy lady. Sending hugs to everyone.
Sending my condolences to all of Dorothy’s family and friends.
She sure sounded like an amazing woman!
RIP
My thoughts and prayers go out to your beautiful family during this difficult time. Your GG was a wonderful lady, with such spunk and determination for everything in life, but especially for her family. She will be missed dearly. Thanks for all the laughs, and phone calls, my friend. And I cherish all the recipes you shared with my family: Your oatmeal cookies, and those delicious lemon tarts are simply the best! ❤️😢
To the the family of Dorothy.
We extend our condolences to each and everyone of you!
Dorothy was such a lovely, caring women.
You are all in our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.

Pat, Dianne and the entire family: Our sincere condolences on the loss of your Mom Dorothy. Hers was a life well lived. Our thoughts are with you at this difficult time.
My deepest sympathy for your loss. Dorothy holds a special place in my heart. Thought of her often. She will be missed. My prayers and thoughts are with you.
What an inspiration GG was to us all. Almost 98….God bless. She really touched the hearts of so many people. We have many fond memories of spending time with GG on Springgarden Cres Stoney Creek, ON. Sharing many laughs; while enjoying a glass of wine, listening to her stories and snacking on some yummy baked treat she had made fresh that day at the Dobie home or ours. She will be missed by us all, Chip, Heather, Jacob and McKenzie, (especially McKenzie her twin 😉).
We will miss GG but she will live forever in our hearts and memories.
May she rest in peac. Our thoughts are with you all during this difficult time. Xo
Brent and I want to extend our heartfelt condolences to you following the recent passing of Dorthy.
Dorthy truly was a special lady. Always giving to her family, friends and community.
Our wish for you is that your memories of Dorthy and your family help you through this difficult time.
I am so sorry to read about the passing of this beautiful person. Before Christmas I kept saying to myself that I must visit Dorothy and never made it. I did not know of Dorothy’s passing or would have been to the event. Trudy and I send our condolences to the Lyndon/Healy family. A life well lived and loved by many.
Whenever I was in the presence of Dorothy I knew I was experiencing her caring and kindness. Her dedication to volunteerism was beyond outstanding. Sincere sympathy is extended to all Dorothy’s family.

I have known Dorothy since I was a child. In many ways she was my hero with her many accomplishments and interest in everyone and everything. What a great cook and seamstress, to name two of her talents. She will be missed so much by her family and friends from near and far. Lloyd and I send our condolences.
