I came across the obituary accidently - saw the picture and said..... t hat's Aunt Dot! Although she was not my aunt, it was either that or Mrs . Johnson and she deserved "aunt". Both she and her husband Bill were part of my life as a teenager - good friends to my parents. It makes me f eel nostalgic. I'm so pleased she had a long and happy life and was blessed with a whole bunch of grandkids and great grand kids. I pass on my condolences to those left behind. Remember her with a smile and a laugh - I'm sure that is what she would want.

Mrs. Johnson's lovely smile and cheerful welcoming Hello will always be a lovely memory. Her cup of Tetley tea she made me was the best and always think of her now when I drink Tetley tea. Her wit and funny cliches shine through her daughter and will always be remembered.

Dorothy recently joined our weekly sing-alongs with the other residents of South Country Village Havenview in Medicine Hat. She knew the words to almost every song we played and sang with gusto especially "Take Me O ut To The Ballgame" and "Goin' Back To Whur I Come From". We will miss Dorothy's singing, humour, and ready smile. Goodbye to a good friend and lovely person. Carole & Dwayne Myers aka Mr and Mrs The Music Man
