Dorothy was a WWII veteran, joining as a
CWAC member, and had been stationed in Saint John and Fredericton, NB.
This is where she met up with her husband, Babe. She believed strongly
in her faith, and would say prayers for her family, VHU staff, and
others who she felt needed spiritual help. She was a proud member of
the Legion, earning her 50-year pin. Dorothy loved to cook, sew and
make things for her family. She was always available to listen to our
sorrows.
Visitation will take place at O’Regan
Funeral Home, in Grand Falls, 2PM to 3:45PM on Friday, August 16,
2019. Mass of Christian burial will be celebrated by her cousin Father
Paul Paradis at Assumption Church in Grand Falls at 4PM on August 16,
2019 with reception to follow at the church.
Special thanks to Dr. Keddy and the VHU staff for all their
services. Dorothy made many friends during her 10 year stay
at the Veterans Health Unit.
