Obituary for Dorothy Dhatt

Dorothy Dhatt
Dorothy Dhatt passed away peacefully at the Red Deer Regional Hospital, on Wednesday, May 13, 2015, at the age of 87. Dorothy is survived by her children: Anne Wallace (Lyle-deceased), John Dovbniak (Beverley), Chris Dovbniak (Carola), Cindy Dunlop (Gail), Sean Dovbniak and Wesley Dovbniak (Pamela). She was predeceased by daughter Dorothy Jean and granddaughter Shawnna. Dorothy was also loved by numerous grandchildren, great grandchildren and special great great grand daughter Chloe. After a hard life having lived through the Depression and World War II, she moved to Canada with 3 little kids. With no destination in mind, she started again in a tiny house in a tiny village in southern Manitoba. With 7 children and having left an abusive husband, Dorothy lived out her days being the best mom, grandma, great grandma and even great great grandma. Some of Grandma Dorothy Dhatt’s dying words were: “It’s easy to love someone, but it isn’t always easy to like them. Don’t get wound up in petty fights, just love each other.” This story she told proved her point: “I was taught to hate the Germans, to hate the Japanese, and anyone gay. Now I have a German daughter-in-law, a Japanese daughter-in-law and a gay daughter-in-law and I love them all.” At Dorothy’s request, a private family service has been held. As an expression of sympathy, donations to Loaves and Fishes Benevolent Society, 6002 54 Avenue, Red Deer, Alberta, T4N 0J1, would be appreciated by the family. Arrangements in care of Sonya Henderson, Funeral Director at Parkland Funeral Home and Crematorium, 6287 – 67 A Street (Taylor Drive), Red Deer. 403.340.4040.
