TWINE, DOROTHY GERTRUDE (nee VANDERLIP)
February 10, 1927-December 22, 2022
It is with great
sadness and much love we say goodbye to our beloved mother,
grandmother and great-grandmother, Dorothy Twine, who passed away
December 22, 2022.
Dorothy was born in
Paris, Ontario, the youngest of six children. She met her husband,
Horace of 43 years in Paris and after marrying him, they moved to
Guelph with Horace’s son Peter. In Guelph, their family grew
and they had four children; her daughter Marie (Joe) and sons Bob,
Doug (Sabine) and Rich (Rhonda). She dearly loved her seven
grandchildren; Myles, Sheena Shannon, Matt, Theresa, Jeannie and Jake,
and great-grandchildren; Jordyn, Paxton, Amelia and
Travis.
She enjoyed skating as
a young person, getting together with family and the neighbours she
grew up with around Paris. Her mother had taught her that
‘if you haven’t got a good thing to say about
someone, don’t say anything’ and that became her
motto too. She was kind and helpful to all, a great listener, a lover
of dogs and loved to spend time with her family, especially cooking
family dinners. She was an avid fan of the Toronto Maple Leafs and the
Blue Jays.
She enjoyed life in
Guelph and made many friends along the way. After Horace’s
death in 1996, she continued living in their family home on Bennett
Avenue with her little dog Nickie. After more than 50 years living on
Bennett Avenue she decided it was time to move on. She sold her home
and moved to a senior’s home where she continued making many
friends. She always loved a good cuddle with a child or a furry
friend.
The family would like
to thank Dr. David Hood for the wonderful care, kindness and support
over many years.
A celebration on life
will be held at a later date.
