Dorothy slipped away peacefully with family by her side at Hillcrest Village Care Centre on Saturday, October 5, 2024.
Dorothy was born to Harry and Jean Lilly and grew up in Brampton. She was predeceased by her sisters Helen Burgess and Marjorie Holtby.
Dorothy graduated from UofT with a degree in Physical and Health Education. She married her high school sweetheart Donald Beatty on June 21, 1952. They lived in Calgary, Orangeville, Brampton, Midland and Sundridge. Over these years, Dorothy dedicated herself to her family and her church community. Don passed away in October 2010.
Dorothy is survived by her children Steve (Joelle), Sharon (Bill) and Mary Sue (Dave). She is fondly remembered by her grandchildren Kyle (Nora), Alex, Arielle (Olivier), Julie (Paul) and Anna (Chris) and her great-grandchildren Lachlan, Grace, Will, Nora, Samira and Fiona.
The family would like to thank the compassionate staff for making Hillcrest Dorothy’s home for the past 5 years. The constant loving care and cheerful atmosphere was a comfort to our family.
Cremation has taken place. The family will celebrate the reunion of Don and Dorothy on the shores of Lake Bernard in the summer of 2025.
