CLUTE, Dorothy Irene (Mickler) - On July 15, 2011, 15 days short of her 100th birthday at Amica at Swan Lake, Markham, Ontario. Born in Collingwood. Dear wife of the late Frank. Survived by son Peter Clute (Bev) of Ajax, daughter Patricia Edge (David McDonnell) of Smithville, grandsons Mark Reardon of Toronto, Kevin Clute (Lee Pauze) of Dwight, Craig Clute (Victoria) of Tottenham, granddaughter Jacquelin Reardon of Toronto, great-granddaughter Edie Clute of Dwight and great-grandson Clyde Clute of Dwight. Dorothy was predeceased by two brothers, Alvin of Toronto and Russell of Buffalo, New York. Dorothy grew up in Collingwood where she shone in school sports - softball, basketball, hockey, tennis and later in golf. After secondary school she took a business course and worked for an insurance firm in Buffalo. Following training at Collingwood General and Marine Hospital and Sick Children's Hospital in Toronto, she earned her Registered Nurse qualifications. She was actively involved in numerous community activities including IODE, Thistle Lawn Bowling Club, London Curling Club and Llyndinshire Golf Club. She was a member of Metropolitan United Church in London. Dorothy and Frank married in 1939 and lived in Wyevale, Midland, Welland, Windsor, Toronto and London before moving to Markham in 2005. Special Thanks go to Dr. Yishai Wise and the outstanding staff at Amica at Swan Lake in Markham for their care, kindness, courtesy and compassion. A private funeral service will be held at the Wyevale Cemetery where she will be laid to rest.

I was sorry to read of Dorothy's passing in the Toronto Star recently. My parents, Elsie and Donald Tait, were friends with your parents in London. They were also members of the Thistle Lawn Bowling Club and Metropolitan United Church. When my father died in 1991, Dorothy and Frank invited Mom and me for afternoon tea; it was a delightful visit. My mother moved to a retirement home in Pickering 3 years ago due to ill health and to be closer to me; she passed away in January this year. It is very difficult to lose your mother, regardless of how long she lived. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I am so sorry to hear of Dorthy's passing.I had the privilege of knowing her when I lived at Amica at Swan Lake and we played bridge together. We used to laugh a lot. We kept in touch after I moved. She was a very fine person and will be greatly missed. Please accept my sincere sympathy.

Hello Peter,

I was sad to hear about your mothers death. She was a good friend of my Mom and Dad., Jack and Dody Denne. She was always interested in how they were doing as their health declined.

As you might know..Ric Mcmahon was my dad's best friend and it was a connection that they had with your Mom and Dad. I used to visit with her in her room and enjoyed her storiies of Ric and My Aunt Marney's visits I always loved to see the clock in her room. I think it was something you made.

What a good long life she had. Always a smile. She loved seeing our grandchildren Jjaden and Jaxon when they visited.

My sympathy is with you and your family.
