It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of Dorothy Margaret Knebel on Sunday, February 13 at the age of 94.
Dorothy was blessed with five children, Bob (Ele), Gerald (Peggy), Brian, Ross, and Brenda (Charlie); six grandchildren, Lisa (Marty), Laura, Richard (Anya), Melanie (Sean), Kellie (Ryan) and Katherine (Lance); and eight great-grandchildren.
Dorothy was predeceased by her loving husband Norman, daughter Margaret Ann and grandson Matthew Everest
Dorothy loved traveling and enjoyed spending her winters in Palm Desert. She regularly volunteered at the hospice centres, where she was able to give back to her community and experience the world of love and loss through the eyes of others. She because and richer, stronger person through these interactions and often commented on how much she learned from her experiences.
Many sad goodbyes are made by the age of 94. However, Dorothy was lucky enough to hold onto the close bond she formed with her loving cousin in Rome, Hazel DeLuca, and her dearest friend Mary Pelzer, both of whom she spoke with frequently.
The family would like to thank the women who dedicated countless hours to Dorothy’s care, Caroline, Kansas, Mary, Myrna, Rose, and Susie. Their kindness and compassion in the last few months made it possible to fulfill Dorothy’s wish to remain in her own home.
A gathering to celebrate the life of Dorothy will be held on Saturday, March 5, 2022 at 2PM at Park Place Funeral Home, 51 Broadway Boulevard, Sherwood Park.
In lieu of flowers donations can be made to Stars Air Ambulance or the hospice organization of your choice.
