    My deepest sympathy to Jim, Carol and Family. Dorothy will be deeply missed but never forgotten. She was a wonderful volunteer at the hospital as she was a familiar face that local patients and staff knew. And for lots of patients that didn’t have family close by, she would have a little visit with them and get them a refreshment and cookie. Everyone loved ❤️ Dorothy. She will never be forgotten.

    Jim & Carol – Sorry for your loss and want you to know your Mom was a wonderful companion to my Dad Jack Hill when he first arrived at Kelso Villa. They had many mutual memories to keep them enjoying reminiscing. He missed her terribly & still talks about their time together. May she rest in peace. Gayle Sadler (Porter)

    My condolences to Jim and family at this time of your Mom’s passing. I will always remember Dorothy for her quick walking and deep friendship with Florence and Jim P. And also that she played the euphonium and really didn’t want to but had to at her father’s direction in the Chesley marching band. A life long lived.

    My condolence to JIM, CAROLE & families.
    I was saddened to hear about DOROTHY’s passing. She has been a figure in my families life as long as I can remember. First thought was of Dorothy & Reg took me when I was about 6 out behind Caframo on the open ice, tied my skates on & we played hockey & skated on the bare ice.
    Dorthy was a forever friend of my MOM & I can say her best friend.
    In later years they even spent more time together through the church, card group & just visiting.
    Dorothy was a very active lady & walked miles around Wiarton.
    Sad to to loose a MOM & GRANDMA but you will always remember those great years & memories together.

    So sorry to hear the news about Dorothy-I volunteered with Dorothy, selling tickets at our Foodland, on behalf of the Wiarton Hospital Auxiliary. Dorothy was a faithful member of the Auxiliary. She also shared her cast knowledge of Wiarton history with me…Will miss her…
