Obituary Overview
Dorothy Elaine Bailer
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our dear Mother, Grandmother,
Sister, Partner and friend Dorothy Bailer on Monday November 27, 2017 at the Health Science
Centre. She left us too quickly but are comforted to know that she is now at peace.
She is predeceased by her father and mother, William & Marie Sweet, brother Lawrence,
sisters Joan & Patricia and nephew Jeff. Left to cherish her memory are her partner of
30+years Bill Strong, son Paul, sisters, Debbie (Larry), Sharon (Brian), Beverly (Paul), grandson
Jackson and numerous nieces, nephews and extended family.
Dorothy was born on April 13, 1949 and spent her early years on the farm in Ostenfeld, MB
where she worked hard with her family. After completing high school, she went to Winnipeg
to work where she performed various administrative jobs, she was a hard conscientious
worker at anything she did and ended her career at Autoline where she retired after 27 years.
Dorothy enjoyed working in the yard from which she took great pride in and loved tending to
her flowers in the garden. She enjoyed a good cup of coffee and spent many fond trips with
her life partner Bill at the Shooting Star (her favourite spot) or South Beach & Club Regent
Casino. Her greatest pride was becoming a Grandma, her grandson Jackson was the light of
her life, whom she loved dearly. She could always be found quietly cheering him on at all his
sporting events and never missed a concert or grandparents day. She loved babysitting him,
and having him over for visits to spoil him rotten, if there was a smile on her face it was
usually because he was around. Family was important to her and she could always be found at
an arena or ball field cheering on her nieces, nephews and families in all they did. She was a
wonderful grandmother, mother, sister, aunt and friend. She will be sadly missed, especially
by her son Paul.
A celebration of Dorothy’s life will be held at Glen Lawn Funeral Home, 455 Lagimodiere Blvd. on Monday, December 4 at 2:00pm, with viewing at 1:30pm prior to service, interment will follow after the service. Reception to follow at the Transcona Legion, 117 Regent Ave.
The family would like to extend a sincere thank you to the staff at the Health Science Centre
on the 4th floor wing, D unit for their care and compassion during Dorothy’s last days.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to CancerCare Manitoba, 675 McDermot Ave., Room
