Dottie was a dear friend...We absolutely loved living in her lake home for 18 years. She lived a long and good life at Bow Lake. She will be missed by many including the Donatello Family. Rest in peace Dottie!

I was just in Bow Lake and saw a light in the Water St.house,I wondered how she was and if she was still there.
Your mom, dad and Bill are in my childhood memories. Parties at Whitcher's, dances at the Grange,and
Bill making great drinks at cook-outs...She had a good life and always with great smile.
