Graves, Dorothy Lavera (nee Johnson) (August 9, 1931 – December 8, 2022)
Dorothy Graves passed away on Thursday, December 8th, 2022, at her home in Chartwell London, at the age of 91. Dorothy was predeceased by her one and only love, Bob, in 1972. Dorothy leaves behind her three much loved children, Dale (Dennis) Shand, Gayle (Tim) Abbott, and Myron (Charlene) Graves. As well, her three beautiful granddaughters, Amanda, Erin, and Mallory, and her cherished five great-grandchildren, Isaac, Elise, Kayley, Parker, and Huxson. Dorothy was so proud and loved them all immensely.
Dorothy loved being a farmer’s wife. After Bob’s passing, Dorothy sold her farm in Clear Creek and raised her family in Walsingham. She worked for Christian Service Centres, bringing God’s word into the schools. She loved teaching the children about the Lord.
In retirement, Dorothy moved to Tillsonburg. Her church and her family were everything to her. Her final 7 years were at Chartwell London. Dorothy’s family would like to thank every person who works there, for their love and care.
