CARMAN; Dorothy (nee Dorrington)


It is with great sadness we announce that Dorothy passed away on July 25, 2015 at the age of 90. Dorothy is survived by her two sons, Garry (Mariette) and Brian (Noeleen); her three grand- children, Christine (Tyson), Neal (Kendall) and Sean. She will be fondly remembered by her nieces and nephews in England and BC. Dorothy was predeceased by her husband, Ronald in 2001. She was also predeceased by her five sisters and brother, all of whom lived in England. Dorothy was born in Thornaby on Tees in England on January 16, 1925. She married her husband, Ronald in 1945 while he was serving with the RCAF in England, and came to Canada as a war bride in 1946. They farmed in Rosedale, BC, but after Ron was affected by polio in 1959 they left the farm and moved to Burnaby, in 1967. Dorothy and Ron retired to Abbotsford in 1985. Dorothy will always be remembered for how supportive she was to Ron and her family. She was a great lady who made many friends along the way, who loved life to the end and never lost her sense of humour. A Memorial Service will be held on Wednesday, August 5, 2015 at 11:00 am at Henderson's Fraser Valley Funeral Home, 34537 Marshall Road, Abbotsford, BC. Donations may be made to: Canadian Hemochromatosis Society: www.toomuchiron.ca
