Dorothy was born on October 2, 1932 in the Netherlands and immigrated to Canada in 1958. Predeceased by her loving husband of 60 years John Boonen (oct 18, 2019). Dorothy is lovingly remembered by her children Trudy (Kirk) of Oshawa and Cathy (Jim) of Paris. Proud Grandmother of Justin (Jill), Matthew (Sarah) and Samantha (Jacob). Great-grandmother of Atlas, Lila, Charlotte, Ivy, Audrey and Axel. Dorothy lived a full life, a wonderful Mother and homemaker she loved to cook and spend winters at their home in Florida for over 20 years.
