Dorothy was such a beautiful person, genuine and kind would describe how she treated everyone around her. It was a pleasure to plan her travel and she is missed.

So sorry to hear the passing of Dorthy. She was such a beautiful, kind and classy lady..She spent and traveled a lot of time with my sister Pat. They had a world of fun together..
I don’t think Pat knows Dorthy has passed yet.

Sincere condolences to Dorothy’s family and her friends. It has been my
Pleasure to have known her for many years. I often recall seeing her walking
On the Florida beach collecting the sea shells.
May you find comfort in your keepsake photos and special memories that
Each of you share. Thinking of you.

Dorothy was a good neighbour who was always ready with a pleasant greeting

I worked with Dorothy as my partner in the Uniformed Division for many years. She was an absolute gem and loved her to death. I took over her job when she retired and it was big shoes to fill. She will be missed by her family. I had not heard from her in a couple of years and I could not find her. We always met up for lunch at least once a year.

Dorothy and I were back-door neighbours for 10 + years and I enjoyed chatting with her and sharing enjoyment of her flag, and the juniper trees we planted together. Her activity level – walking – in all kinds of weather inspired me. I have missed her since her move to London and will always remember her fondly.
Love Dianne W.

I had the extreme pleasure of working with Dorothy at London Police Services in the early 70’s, first at King Street and later at the new headquarters at 601 Dundas Street. I was newly wed to a police officer (Robin) and Dorothy took me under her wing and gave me good advice on how to flourish being a police wife working in the same environment as my husband. Dorothy, I know you would be pleased to know that we did flourish and are still together 50 years later. Thank you sweetheart.

so sorry to hear of Dorothy’s passing. I worked with Dorothy at the London Police Department. Always so pleasant and always a great smile and a twinkle in her eye. Rest in peace Dorothy.
Judy Campbell
I remember Dorothy as a lovely lady. My dad would sometimes give her a ride home from her job at the London Police. I started there in 79. I think the person I replaced took over for Dorothy when she retired. Glad she had many happy years in retirement.

I loved Dorothy. She was the epitome of Elegance and charm and compassion and caring. I started at the London Police Service in February of 1976 and every time I saw her face it brought a smile to mine. Dorothy will be missed but never forgotten. Blessings to you Dorothy in your new travels. Love and respect,

Dorothy was a lovely lady. Always enjoyed working with her when she volunteered at Craighhome. She would never refuse me. Remember the good times.

I met Dorothy through Charlie Corbett and Sr. Mary Eunice Hennessy several years ago and was immediately captured by her quiet dignity and wonderful sense of humour. She will be missed as one of our lunch companions and a great story teller .
