Sadly, we announce the passing of Dorothy Dawson on Friday Sept. 11. In her 95th year, she is now joyfully reunited in heaven with her husband, Cecil, and her sister Ruth and brother Merton (Betty). Dorothy was lovingly active in the lives of her children and grandchildren. She will be greatly missed by her children, Wayne (Carol), Janice (Scott), Richard (Caroline), and grandchildren Kristine (Nicholas), Mark, Karen (Matt), Matthew, Erin, and great-granddaughter Kalayla. Born in Lindsay, Ontario, Dorothy was a registered nurse who loved seniors and worked in long-term care homes until she retired as Director of Nursing. She cared deeply for others. In addition to being a highly intelligent woman, Dorothy was a devoted follower of Jesus and was a faithful and godly example of compassion for others by praying, and giving of her time and resources. She will be remembered by the many people whose lives she touched and her many friends and colleagues at churches she attended and served.
