Dorothy Calvert Obituary

Passed away peacefully at age 85 on January 5, 2020, surrounded by her family at The Wellington nursing home in Hamilton, ON. Survived by her children Allan Jr. (Jennifer), grandsons Jason, Justin, and Ryan, her son Peter (Conchita), grandsons William and Paul (Amanda), her son Andrew (Lynn), Granddaughters Ashley, and Melissa (Kevin), great granddaughters Mya, and Khloe, her daughter Cathy (late Allan Ruetz), grandsons Nicholas, and Bennett. Dorothy was born in Tilston, Manitoba, later moved to Winnipeg, and then Hamilton, ON. Predeceased by her parents Hugh and Nellie Vincent, her brother Alfred, and sister Eleanor. She will be remembered by her brother Ronald of Winnipeg, and sister Beverly of Trail, B.C., and by many nieces, nephews, and cousins situated throughout Canada and the United States. Dorothy had a flair for music (piano), artwork and painting, knitting and sewing, reading, and as the children would say, her cooking with many Sunday dinners featuring roast beef and Yorkshire pudding. The family is grateful for the loving attention she received at The Wellington nursing home, including the care she received from Dr. M. Stevenson, and from the wonderful nurses and support staff on the second floor. They brought a lot of joy to Dorothy and always appreciated her sense of humour. Cremation has taken place, interment at Resurrection Catholic Cemetery in Ancaster, and a celebration of life will be held at a future date. In lieu of flowers, as an expression of sympathy, donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation are appreciated.

So sad to hear of Dorothy's passing. I have fond memories of her from the family visits to Buffalo and when we would go to Hamilton. I can still remember her sweet voice. Cousin Kathy

From your Vincent family out West, we pass along our heavy hearts. Rest in peace Dorothy.

Fond memories include the gathering of our families at "Granny's flop house" on Brooklyn street in Winnipeg. Gran's outside light gave off a warm and welcoming glow; venture though the front black garden gate into a wee little house FULL of cousins and family from near and far, with barely any more room for yet another sleeping bag. There was always laughter, strong tea, and the best roast beef gravy and Yorkshire puddings around.

Much love, Tracey (Greg), Jacqui (Don and Aubrey) and Corrine
