Dorothy has been missed since she left 24 Hesp Drive, but now she will be missed forever in our hearts. She always said, she had the best neighbours but we knew we had the best! She wasn’t just our neighbour she was family and a grandmother to Alannnah. Where will Alannah run away to now? We love her and we will miss her. As a tribute every year we will continue to have Chinese food and Costco pumpkin pie on her birthday. To. Al, Gary, Cathy and families our sincerest condolences.

Ken and Christina Graham
Many people remember Dorothy as one of the best secretaries at Palgrave Public School or seeing her work every year at the Bolton Fall Fair, but I got to know her better by working the elections as her partner. What a delight meeting such a kind, smiling , smart lady, who had a terrific sense of humour. There was no generational gap as we kidded each other all day like a couple of teenagers. I guess that is the secret to a long vibrant life. Dorothy will be surely missed in Bolton.

She will be missed by so many . I am sure you have lots of wonderful memories an will hold her close in your hearts. Sincerely, Carolyn McKane

Dorothy has always been a part of everyone’s favorite memories. A truly wonderful person. Fred and Dorothy were good friends of my brother, Stu, in Nova Scotia and she certainly helped to make my time in Rebekahs meaningful. Gods garden just got a new helper. I hope you all keep some of her best recipes and remember her as you use/share them, she will like that.

Jeanette Briere
Dorothy was a wonderful lady. I knew her when she worked at Palgrave School when my children attended there. I remember her leaving her secretarial duties to help the little ones get into their skates. I attended her retirement party which drew a large crowd.
For years I had the privilege of knowing her at Christ Church Bolton. Dorothy did a lot at the Church. My favorite thing that she did was bake the bread for Communion. She did this for many years. It was yummy.
Rest In Peace dear Dorothy!
Ray and Isabelle Bottoms
Dorothy came to Bolton as a new bride. She could teach crochet and knitting, and came to Caven’s Women’s Guild at the invitation of a neighbour to learn about quilting.
Later, she became the treasured Chairperson of Arts and Crafts at Bolton Fair.
Dorothy enjoyed many fall trips to Mennonite country to obtain quilting supplies for charity quilts, and we travelled together on many bus trips as well.
She was a lady of many talents. Rest in peace dear friend.
Margaret Fleetwood
My deep sympathy and sincere condolences to Dorothy’s family. I had the privilege of working with Dorothy when she was the bookkeeper for the library.

I had the pleasure of knowing her when I was part of the Albion & Bolton Agricultural Society. There is so much to say about how wonderful she was. She was an amazing person, always smiling.
