Dorothy May Obituary
October 19, 1926 - May 5, 2025
Born in Lloydminster, the fifth of ten children to Harold and Evelyn Floyd, Dorothy (Dot) grew up in Northern Saskatchewan. Moving to Halifax after nursing school, she met Gerald, who was interning at the same hospital. After a short courtship, they married in 1950, a marriage that would last 65 years. Moving between Nova Scotia and BC, they settled in Victoria in 1956. Dorothy enjoyed a variety of sports including tennis, curling, swimming, skiing and lawn bowling. She was a great entertainer for family and friends. She and Gerry travelled extensively making new friends wherever they went. She continued to make friends after going into care in 2023. After a brief illness, she passed away peacefully with family at her side.
Dorothy is survived by her children Pat, Debbie (Brock), and Jen (Ken), grandchildren Harley (Theresa), Eric, Kelly, Jessica, Sarah and Clara, and great grandchildren Wyatt, Olivia and Hunter, her sister Margaret, sisters in law Donna and Dorothy, and many nieces and nephews.
The family would like to thank all her wonderful caregivers at Jubilee House. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Dorothy's favourite charity, the Vancouver Island Marmot Recovery Foundation.

I met Dorothy only a year ago at Jubilee House, as I had been there often visiting my Mom on the 5th floor. Dorothy was always part of the social group in the dining room, and I so enjoyed talking with her, as she seemed to have had such an interesting life. She also had a keen sense of humor and had us laughing often.
I was very sorry to hear that Dorothy passed away in May. She is dearly missed at Jubilee House. My condolences to the family.

So very sorry to read about your Mom´s passing. She was such a lovely woman and was always so kind to me. We shared a birthday too and we always thought that was special. Take care.

Dear Debbie and Brock and family,
I was saddened to hear of your Mom's passing....she was so lovely...always had a smile each time I passed by her or sat near her when in the Bistro. From the time I met her, the word "grace" always came to mind. She really 'had grace.' Debbie, I'm so sorry that when I saw you the a few days ago, I hadn't heard about your Mom. I appreciated the quiet words you whispered as you passed by me and at that moment I couldn't talk, but I do wish I could have chatted with you. Thinking of you and your family and sending caring wishes as you catch your breath. It was easy to see how much your Mom enjoyed all the family visits. I shall remember her with her gentle smile.
