DAVIES, Dora Margaret June 21, 1910 - February 05, 2011 Dora passed away peacefully at her home at The Gardens, Qualicum Beach, BC on Saturday, February 5, 2011. Dora will be sadly missed by her extended family; sons, H.

Dora was a skillful horsewoman and strong swimmer and taught many of her young family members to ride and swim. Dora was an initial member of the Qualicum Beach Curling Club and a member of the Pithion Sisters and the Qualicum Beach Ceramics Club. Dora was also known for her delicious bran buns and blackberry jam which she freely gave to family and friends. An avid knitter, Dora gave many lap blankets to local old age homes and also many, many toques and dish cloths to family and friends. A highlight in her life occurred last year when every member of her family was able to come to the Bowser Legion to help celebrate Dora's 100th Birthday.
