WEBBER: Dorothy Hope (Alderson) of Exeter
Posted By Haskett Funeral Homes On October 29, 2026 @ 9:24 AM In Exeter, Obituary | 61 Comments
Passed away peacefully at Spruce Lodge, Stratford, on Monday, October 26, 2026, at the age of 98. Beloved wife of the late Lloyd Webber (2009). Loving mother of Cliff and Elaine, Craig and Janice, Ron and Gaye. Proud grandmother of Hilary and Rob, Jill and Jamie, Katie and John, Sarah and Cory, Chad and Michelle, and Suzanne and Geoff. Cherished great-grandma of Reese, Addisyn, Kylie, Cohen, Avah, Nolan, Blythe, Ben, Alex, and Ronnie.
We can only imagine that the card games and dance parties with Dad and those many dear friends and family members that have predeceased her have already started. Can you hear the banging on the table? Can you see the circling around the Exeter Legion floor? Can you hear the laughter? We can, and it makes us smile.
Grandma’s legacy is sharing her Cape Breton hospitality, hosting family and friends in her humble kitchen, always entertaining and sharing delicious meals.
Our sincere thank you to the staff at Anne Hathaway Residence who went beyond the call of duty during COVID in 2020 and to the caring and compassionate staff of Spruce Lodge where mom has spent the past five years.
A private family “Kitchen Party” celebration will be held to share our memories of our mom, grandma and great-grandmother.
Memorial donations can be made to the Spruce Lodge Foundation, Thames Road Elimville United Church, or Huron County Food Distribution Centre in Dorothy’s memory.
Save a Cup for Me
There was nothing a good cup of tea couldn’t fix,
No trouble her kitchen couldn’t mend.
With a splash of milk and a gentle stir,
She was grandmother, guide, and friend.
We shared our stories, big and small,
Beside the cozy kettle’s hum,
She listened close and shared her heart,
And welcomed all who wished to come.
Now heaven’s kettle’s on to boil,
And she is resting, bright and free-
So rest in peace, dear Grandma now,
And keep a warm cup saved for me.
Not only can I see the couple on the dance floor , I hear her laughter and comments when Grandma Dorothy joined the “Clan” for many of our Easter and Christmas gatherings. We shared many conversations., and she was never shy expressing her opinions! When the noise level got too much she would simply tag Craig to take her home. Grandma Dorothy was always our welcome guest. My young people inquiring for her often in recent years. Celebrate her 98 years. They are her gift to you.
Kitchen party it should be!
Let the laughter flow.
My love to each of you dear family.

Our sincere condolences on the passing of Dorothy. I always enjoyed visiting with her when she was at Anne Hathaway. I have a couple of her recipes that she wrote out for me to have and I will treasure them even more now. ❤️
Craig, Janice & family:
I remember Dorothy well in her hayday! When I moved to Usborne in 1962 that great group of Webbers, Kerslakes & Kings were all kicking up their heals. Their family were mostly raised and it was time for them to enjoy themselves. Dorothy was always so friendly and welcomed anyone new to the community. I can still picture that smile. You’ll have many great memories!

A life lived well, may Dorothy rest in eternal peace or hoopla as she moves onto her spiritual world. Gentle hugs to all who knew & loved her.
