Dorothy PIKE Obituary
She will be dearly missed by her daughter Pam “Pepper” Gaudio of Victoria, B.C., and her son Ross Pike of Surrey, B.C., and her seven grandchildren. Her sister Doris E. Stewart predeceased her in 1998 and her former husband Chris Pike in 2001.
Dee has a special place in Canada’s Aviation history having been the last surviving wife of an AVRO test pilot. She enjoyed her years living in Malton, Ontario, before the closure of the AVRO Arrow project.
Her home in Victoria reflected her love of antiques and collectables. Working in her garden brought her great joy. Her knowledge of plants was incredible. A lifelong learner, Dee taught herself to read at age four and particularly enjoyed biographies and mysteries.
She loved going to the Salvation Army and St. Vincent de Paul in Langford where she became known as “The Crochet Lady” donating many beautiful handmade baby outfits and doilies. Dee will be missed by many friends and acquaintances in the community.
To honor her wishes there will be no service.

We lived next door to Mrs Pike on Stockton Crescent, back in the days when you chatted with your neighbor over the fence. Rest in Peace! Pam and Ross so sorry for the passing of your Mom!

I walked by her house the other day and was wondering how she was doing because she hadnt been in our store for a long while. She crocheted beautifully! My condolences to her family

I will miss receiving her letters. We shared many interests - gardening in particular. She was a great gal - miss you Dorothy.

Pam: My deepest condolences and sympathy upon learning of your Mother's passing. From her photo, she looked like a Super Lady and will be greatly missed by many.
