McPherson Dorothy Elaine nee Woodman February 24th 2021

McPherson, Dorothy Elaine (née Woodman)
February 24th, 2021
June 27, 1937 – February 24, 2021
It is with profound sadness that the family of Dorothy Elaine McPherson (née Woodman) announce her peaceful passing at home on Wednesday, February 24, 2021, at the age of 83 years. Born in Grand Cascapédia, Quebec, she held a lifetime affection for the Gaspé Peninsula and was proud to be a sixth-generation British Gaspesian.
Dorothy will be lovingly remembered by her husband of 60 years, David; children, Lauren (Jan) Malec and Kara (Link) Malott; grandchildren, Joanna and Julia Malec, and Brick, Keller, and Morgan Malott. Survived by her sister, Hildred Lepine; and many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her parents, Inez Amy and Lawrence; brother, Howard (2019); and son, Jamie (2014).
Dorothy attended St. Thomas Collegiate Institute and was a graduate of Alma College, St. Thomas, spending her early career with London Life and Manufacturers Life Insurance Company, in Toronto. Dorothy’s passion for all things creative is the true hallmark of her life. She has been a journalist, playwright, poet, historian, folk artisan, international award-winning dollmaker, quilting instructor, author, curator, publisher (including Miss Janey Canuck) and cartoonist. She served as church pianist and organist, and entertained family and friends through the years with her talented piano and violin playing. Dorothy was a tireless community volunteer throughout her life in Tilbury, Port Colborne and London, Ontario. She made many lifelong friends through her connections with Canadian Society for Creative Leathercraft, Niagara Guild of Crafts, and London Arts Council. She founded two fine arts guilds and was the recipient of three government awards for her volunteer work on behalf of the arts. Her many sketchbooks attest a love for touring Canada.
Interment of ashes will be held in June at Fairview Cemetery, Dutton.
The family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Dorothy’s family physician, Dr. Thomas Eberhard, for his care and dedication.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations in Dorothy’s name may be made to Craft Ontario, where an annual award is planned.
