I always took notice of Dorothy when I saw her, not because of her striking appearance but more for the presence she had. I would have loved to have seen her perform as she had a way of impacting people and leaving a lasting impression just by being herself.
Rest In Peace Dorothy, we will miss you.

I was 11 when I met Dorothy's parents and sisters in 1948 on their farm in Francis, just a few months upon immigrating from Germany. We lived in Yellow Grass for 5 years, then in Regina.

If you met her...you would never forget her. She always had an air of grace about her. A little treasure of the community will be sadly missed.

One day, about 25 years ago, I saw Dorothy ordering from a grocery store deli and I, at the tender age of 8 or 9, marvelled at her polite spirit and kindness. I have seen her here and there over the years, and each time I have been brought back to that grocery store memory. I too, would love to know this womans life story.

What an amazing life led prior to her illness. Rest in peace, Dorothy. I'm sad that it took your death for me to learn your name.

I wish I had heard her sing. My fault for being too busy to stop and say hello when I would see her downtown.

I will greatly miss Dorothy's presence in Regina. She was my downstairs neighbour on Smith Street for years, and always had a kind smile to share. While many of us did not know her, she was an icon in this city. Tiene una buena vieje, Dorothy.

I remember seeing Dorothy walking the streets of Regina and she used to shop at the Safeway I worked at. Thank you for sharing her story. What a wonderful woman she was. My condolences to the family.

Thank you for the lovely memories, and impressive insight to a woman who was 'known' by so many. It is wonderful that, in passing, Dorothy has risen up like a beautiful phoenix from the ashes. She was 'known' by so many, and it's wonderful that, with this obituary, she will be remembered by an entire city, for the beautiful and accomplished woman that she was.

To Dorothy's family. My condolenses. Thank you for sharing Dorothy's past with those who only knew her in passing.

Dorothy, you will indeed be missed. I always looked forward to seeing you on your walks. I did not know you but always thought of you as a part of where I lived. I think it is wonderful that so many of us now know so much more about you. You will be missed by many.

I am saddened to hear of Dorothy's passing. I live downtown and often crossed paths with her. Regina will not be the same without her. Thank you for sharing some of her story with us.

My deepest sympathies to Dorothy's family.
I will keep Dorothy in my memory and heart for the rest of my life. I did not know her - but I wish I had. She was a remarkable woman - God Bless you Dorothy on your journey

Why does it take a time of loss to know what shall be missed. I saw Dorothy on Hamilton Street often, including just last week at noon. I often wondered about her personal situation, and of course now regret not speaking with her. I am saddened of our loss.

My thoughts go out to all her family. She was such a familiar face in Regina walking the downtown sector. She will be missed as much as a landmark.
Condolences to the family.

I am very sad for your loss. I have not had the pleasure of meeting her personally or even knowing her first name. I saw Dorthy so often downtown and always wondered about her. Regina has lost one of it's most memorable icons.

I used to see Dorothy downtown and wonder about who she was and what her story was. I think I somehow knew she was someone special and I wish I had taken the time to speak with her. She will sing on forever.

Dorothy always had a smile for me. And I'll always remember that.
May her memory be eternal.

It is only now that my sister and I made the association. Dorothy was indeed known to all, and we only realized now that we grew up neighbours with her sister Donna and husband Jerry, Rachel and Mathew, their children. I had no idea this woman had such an accomplished past. I am amazed. My condolences to Jerry, Donna, Rachel and Mathew, and all of Dorothy's family and friends alike. Downtown Regina will definitely feel a little more empty without her physical presence.

“There are many rooms in my Father's house. I would not tell you this if it were not true. I am going there to prepare a place for you. After I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back. Then I will take you with me, so that you can be where I am.”

Dorothy was a fixture downtown ever since I moved to Regina 30 years ago. I often saw her at mass at Holy Rosary Cathedral. I will miss her.
March 8, 2011
I think most people who worked downtown are familiar with Dorothy and will miss seeing her everywhere. A real gentle soul and, as you can see from her picture, a beautiful person inside and out.

I remember her on the same bus as me and shopping downtown. She was always very pleasant and polite. My condolences to all of her family...

Dorothy was part of my memories of growing up in the Cathedral area and as part of Holy Rosary parish where she would often attend. She also attended many musical events I and my family were part of, never knowing that she had such a bright and talented past. I will pray for her repose and for her family.

Dorothy sat one pew behind me at First Presbyterian Church. A few months ago, I said to her how I thought she had such a wonderful voice... little did I know of her musical background. As Brad our minister commented, we could always count on seeing Dorothy early for church every Sunday. I'm going to miss her special way of saying "Amen" at the end of the Lord's Prayer... that always brought a smile to my face. God bless you Dorothy.

I am the Rev. Brad Childs from First Presbyterian Church. Dorothy has been a member of our church for about two years now. She was almost always the second person in the building and the first in the pews. She would say "good morning Reverend" first thing and then read through the whole bulletin before most people even got to the church. I was very saddened to hear of Dorothy's passing. If I or the church can be of any help please let me know. -Brad
