My husband and I were fortunate to live next door to Stan and Dorothy for all of the years they lived in East St Paul. We knew Dorothy as a very sociable person, always ready to chat when we would meet outside. She always talked about her family, particularly about grandchildren and great grandchildren. Her love for them was obvious. She and I talked about her crochet blankets (I also crochet and knit) and I was so impressed by how many blankets she made. She talked about curling . She told stories with a twinkle in her eye. We would often see Dorothy walking the entire length of our street in the summer. She was kind to our sons. Dorothy was a wonderful neighbour.

I met Dorothy while curling at St. Vital Curling Club & what a gal she was! She was always pleasant to everyone she met & of course with her many jokes at coffee. We went on a couple of Bonspiels together in St. Rose, Fisher Branch etc. She will always be remembered by many friends at the curling club. My deepest sympathies to Stan & Families as we have definitely lost a very Special Lady.

I had the pleasure of working with Dorothy at the Royal Bank in Thompson. She was always ready with a joke. During the curling season , you knew it was Friday because Dorothy always wore her curling pants to work so she could get straight to the curling rink, Rest in peace Dorothy.

I met Dorothy after I was hired for a teller's position at the Royal Bank in June 1975. Like many others at that time in Thompson, I was young and newly married. In early 1976 my high school girlfriend was planning a July 10th wedding in our southern Ontario hometown and I was to be her matron of honour.  Vacation time at RBC had been set and Dorothy had booked that week. She did not have to, but she changed her plans and enabled me to be at that wedding and keep my job.  It was so thoughtful of her and Dorothy's kind heart is what I'll remember the most. In later years, we would meet up occasionally at gatherings of Thompsonites and tried to keep in touch at Christmas. Thinking of Stan, their girls and families at this time.

@everyone

Thanks for sharing your memories

I am so sad to hear of Dorothy’s passing. Dorothy and I curled together for many years at the St.Vital and Heather curling clubs. We won provincial masters championship twice together. We always had the best time together. She was the most positive and joyful person I knew. Yes, she always had a great joke to share over coffee or lunches at the club. My sincere condolences to Stan and the girls and their families. She will surely be missed. 

Dorothy and I became friends in high school. Dorothy, Margaret and I could be seen hanging out together. We double dated with Stan and his best friend Roger who later became our lifetime partners. Although Stan and Dorothy started their marriage far north in Thompson, we visited each other as often as we could and started our families. We kept in touch over the years and I will always cherish our friendship. Rest well my friend.

I knew Dorothy from having grown up in the same small community then later from Thompson.  I worked at the Bank of Montreal and Dorothy worked at the Royal and she was very welcoming.  When I got married in 1968 Dorothy hosted my bridal shower.  My husband and I continued to see her through curling for many years and will always remember her sense of humor.  Condolences to her family.

I knew Dorothy and Stan from Thompson as I worked at the TD bank in Thompson and Dorothy as we know worked at the Royal when my husband and I moved to St Andrews Mb and Dorothy and Stan moved to East St Paul we had many good visits with them yes Dorothy had many jokes to tell us and we always enjoyed our visits. Rest In Peace Dorothy

I curled with Dorothy for many years in Thompson so many memories of our bonspiels together in the north and one in my home town of Fisher Branch.  Dorothy had a great sense of humour and always had a joke to tell.. I don’t know how she remembered them all!  My condolences Stan and family.. Dorothy will always have a special place in my heart.

I can hear Auntie Dorothy saying “Hi Deenie”! Always loved visiting with her and Uncle Stan. She will be missed by many. My condolences to all of the family ❤️

A couple pictures when Mom and I visited in November 2021.

We had the privilege of knowing Dorothy & Stan thru curling in Thompson.  Dorothy's eyes always twinkled, she had an infectious laugh, and always had a joke to tell!  Our deepest  sympathies to all the family! God has truly gained an angel!!

I remember our time staying together in Mesa, Arizona.

I had the privilege of curling with my Auntie in Pinawa ladies bonspiel. We had so much fun. She loved a good laugh and could tell the best jokes. 

Big hugs to Uncle Stan and my cousin's and their families.
