MacARTHUR,
Dorothy
Frances (née
TOMLINSON) "Tootie"
Peacefully on Saturday, June 14th, 2008. Loving and devoted wife,
for 61 years, of the late Cam. Wonderful mother to Judy (Fergus),
Cam (Leah), Heather and Jamie (Terry). Doting grandmother to
12 and great-grandmother to 10. Born in Toronto, she grew up
in Winnipeg. She and Cam settled in Oakville following World
War 2 and raised their children on Dundas Street (now Trafalgar)
until moving to "the farm" north of Oakville in 1961. She loved
her family. Each Sunday she hosted large family dinners, serving
heaping portions of brisket and tomato aspic. Known for being
a great conversationalist, these occasions were true family events
at which she held court with everyone from toddlers to seniors.
With her sense of humour and quick wit she would often have a
crowd of people in stitches. With Cam, her soul mate, she regularly
attended extended family reunions and events across Canada and
the United States. When she wasn't at her family's sports, scholastic
or other events, she was enjoying summers at the cottage on Georgian
Bay -- always catching the biggest fish! Warm winters were spent
in Tortola, British Virgin Islands with visits from family members
and Friends. To Tortolans, she and Cam were family and the feeling
was mutual. Survived by her sister Jean of Toronto. Predeceased
by her brothers Joe of Nassau and Bill of Thunder Bay. Beloved
aunt of many nieces and nephews. Resilient in all facets of her
life, she faced recent health challenges head-on with an upbeat
attitude. Each moment was lived to the fullest. No doubt, she's
already ordered a hot dog and beer to enjoy with her beloved
Cam. A heartfelt thank you from the family to Brenda
OOSTEN,
whose loving care and compassion over the last five years granted
mom her wish to remain at home, at "the farm." Visitation will
be held at the Kopriva Taylor Community Funeral Home, 64 Lakeshore
Road West, Oakville (one block east of Kerr, 905-844-2600), Friday
evening from 6-9 p.m. A Service to celebrate Dorothy's life will
be held on Saturday, June 21, 2008 at Saint_Jude's Anglican Church,
160 William Street, Oakville at 1: 00 p.m. If desired, memorial
contributions to the Oakville-Trafalgar Memorial Hospital Foundation
would be appreciated by the family. Email condolences may be
made through www.koprivataylor.com.
