Dolly was active in her youth playing softball and continuing into later years with curling and bowling. She had a lifelong adherence to Pilates. She was the youngest of her siblings and the only one born in a hospital. She saw Johnny Cash and George Jones when they toured through Regina in the early years. She had been to the British Isles twice and had numerous vacations in Mexico. She loved camping and the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

Her whole working career was spent in retail grocery and she ended with 48 years at Safeway.

John and Roy love her and miss her, but her last 3 years were so full of pain for her that her parting was a blessing. We know she is happy now. God Bless her for the wonderful years we had together.

We would like to thank all the staff in Unit 3A in the Pasqua Hospital, Regina, Saskatchewan for all they did for her during her transition. We would also like to show our appreciation to Glenn, Bev, Connie, Diane, Gloria, Judy, Amanda, Christine and Joy who spent time cheering her up.
