EDGE (nee Bryant), Dorothy May (age 82)
March 16, 1940 – December 26, 2022
Dorothy May Edge of Cochrane Alberta passed away Dec 26, 2022 at Scenic Acres Retirement Residence in Calgary. Dorothy grew up on the family farm in Grand Valley west of Cochrane and attended Chapleton/Horse Creek School on horseback, and later Westbrook School by bus. After graduating she moved to Calgary to attend Henderson’s Business College and was hired by Mobil Oil, for what became a very successful career lasting 32 years. She was particularly proud to have worked on Mobil’s Hibernia Project.
In 1966 she married Don Edge and they set up their first home in Calgary before moving to Don’s family ranch west of Cochrane. Don & Dorothy contributed many volunteer hours in their community including the Cochrane Ag Society, Beaupre Community Assoc, and the Ghost River Pony Club. They loved kids and really enjoyed all of their nieces and nephews. The coffee was always on at their house and they hosted many large gatherings.
Dorothy was predeceased by her husband Don in 2007. She is survived by her older brother Dave (Betty), and younger sister Lillian, as well as very dear friend Jack Robertson. The family extends special thanks and acknowledgement to Diana Albery for her exceptional care and attention this past year and a half.
Funeral Mass will be held at St Mary’s Catholic Parish (10 River Heights Dr, Cochrane, AB) on January 5, 2023 at 11 a.m. Following the service, immediate family will attend a brief private interment and rejoin everyone at the Church for a reception.
