We are shocked and grieved to hear of Dorothy’s passing. Our heartfelt condolences go out to her family, who was very much a joy to her [her face lit up] when she shared their news.
She was a rock for me and we had many interesting conversations at church (AMBC), as our music coordinator, MLH-BW Exec./travelling and attending conferences/dinners. I will miss our frequent calls as we reached out to each other and our visits.
Our prayers are with her family, through this time of loss.
Blessings,
Dave, Ruth, John and the Schlarbaum family,
Our thoughts and prayers go out to you during this time of loss. We have enjoyed welcoming Dorothy into our family, home and lives. We will miss her stories and life experiences shared with all. Rest easy knowing she is now at peace and with Norm. We will miss her.
With love – Lori, Chelsey and Gillian Huver

So sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing….my deepest condolences to all of you at this time
My greatest memories of your Mom was her baking. She always seemed to have a baking project on the go.
I am sure she will be glad to be reunited with your Father now.
Again, so sorry for your loss
Dear David, Ruth and John:
Thank you for the phone call last evening with the news that Dorothy wads taken to her heavenly home. Loetta and I send along our condolences.
We first met in 1953 at EPBC. I had the honour of standing up with Norm at their wedding. Norm dedicated Esther and Rodger to the Lord in Rodney. We were together on scores of occasions over the years. I had Norm’s funeral service when God took him home.
May God’s gracious blessings be with each family member. We will watch the funeral service on our computer.
Andy & Loetta
Deepest sympathy in the passing of your dear mother! She has been a friend to me since 1961. I was one of your babysitters while at EPBC.
She has kept in touch with me each year with her Christmas letters.
She loaned me her tiara for my wedding day. Prayers of comfort to all the family of whom she was so proud. We will meet again on that wonderful shore.
Since first meeting Dorothy and Norman in 1967 in Newmarket, we have always admired her grace in extreme circumstances, musical talents and wonderful sense of humour. Her descendants will rise up and call her blessed.
On behalf of myself and my siblings, we would like to express our condolences. Your Mom was a great friend to our mother, Gladys Ogilvie. Mom cherished her friendship and over the years we got to know her too. She was truly an amazing woman! She will be missed!
We are very sorry to learn of Dorothy’s passing. We knew Dorothy through Gladys Ogilvie (Janet’s grandma). She was a very sweet lady who will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family. Dorothy, Rest In Peace
Dear David, Ruth and John and families. Your parents knew me as Lois Wood as a student of EPBC and then as an employee of EPBC. Your mother hosted a wedding shower for me in 1965 before I married. She always had a smile and we appreciated her friendship so much. I think of them often as I drive by their white house on Fairbairn Ave. in Peterborough. May God comfort each family member in the days and weeks ahead. Our prayers will be with you all. Another saint has gone home.
To the Schlarbaum family,
Sending condolences from the Ogilvie’s. We so appreciated the special friendship that our Moms shared. Dorothy was always there for all of us when we needed help for Mom. Thank you all too for your kindness. We hold you in our prayers.
Our deepest sympathy on the passing of your mom, & our cousin, Dorothy. We always enjoyed her family update that she sent out every year at Christmas, keeping us abreast of everything that had happened with her and the family that year.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you, her family, during this time.
The Goldsmith Family.
Our family feels the loss of a dear Grandmother and great- grandmother. She was always such a joy to talk to, and had the best stories to share. We will miss her dearly.
My sympathy to the entire family. I knew Dorothy quite well and enjoyed visiting with her when she lived in West Lorne. She was a wonderful lady. Enjoy your memories of her.
Dear John, David, and Ruth , and close family members, relatives and close friends.
My name is Cassandra . I once was known as Valerie,; which is a detailed past history story. I wish to extend my joyous condolences on the passing of your mother.
I must say I have been so privileged to have gotten to know Dorothy. she is my great aunt.I have many memories of my great aunt Dorothy. From the time I was newly married to when I had my first child. She fussed over my son . she showed such kindness. Then as I had my second child she fussed the same way. I have many fantastic memories of my aunt. As we often went to see her each Thanksgiving. Whether Thanksgiving weekend or the one after. Aunt Dorothy welcome to my family into her home. I am privileged to say that I loved her. I loved uncle Norman as well as I was privileged to spend time with him. I will be praying that each of you and your dear family members will be comforted in knowing that your mother and my aunt is now privileged to be in heaven. Thank you for letting me be able to send my condolences.
Cassandra
Heartfelt condolences!
It was with a mixture of emotions when I read about Dorothy’s passing. Sadness for her family and all who knew and loved her but joy that she was with Jesus, the One she loved and served so faithfully.
My mind travelled back to the times when she and her husband came to where we were pastoring to conduct ‘special meetings’.
They were happy to stay with us in our humble homes, share meals, offer words of encouragement and just be their kind, caring selves.
Warm memories fill my heart.
May you find comfort in the circle of God’s love! Amy Seaboyer
