Obituary
McMunn, Dorothy D.
Dorothy D. McMunn (Harrison), aged 88, passed away peacefully in her sleep on Tuesday, November 1st, 2022, at The Grove Nursing Home in Arnprior. From her birth in Elgin, New Brunswick, until her passing, she provided those around her with love, light, and laughter. Born to Arthur and Pearle (Mersereau) Harrison, Dorothy was one of nine children that grew up enjoying all the wonderful things Elgin had to offer. Upon moving to Ontario and settling in Stittsville, she pursued a career as a secretary, with her most notable position being the secretary to the Chief Commanding Officer at the Diefenbunker in Carp. Alongside her career, she enjoyed listening to live music, gardening, puzzles, family get-togethers (usually involving a passionate game of Scrabble), singing, and playing music—particularly the bass for the Country Cousins.
Dorothy is predeceased by her eldest son Jeffrey and daughter-in-law, Gillian. She is survived by her son Jamie (Louisa); her grandchildren Amy, Jenni, Darren (Matthew), Brendan (Megan), and Darby (Ben); and her sisters Marion, Vivian, Joy, and Sharon (Percy). Dorothy is also preceded in death by her parents, her brothers Clayton and Vernon, her sisters Bernice and Beryl, and her former husband, Ron McMunn. Dorothy will be lovingly remembered by many beloved nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
The family would like to extend their sincerest gratitude to all the healthcare workers who have helped with Dorothy’s care over the past several years.
