Dorothy worked for many years in the legal community and was private secretary to the late Chief Justice Bridges.  She was a recipient of the Queens Silver Jubille Medal (1977).

Her strength of character and her love for life were a few of her many genuine qualities.  Always a true lady, Dorothy faced her last challenging years the same way she lived her whole life, with dignity and an undaunted spirit.

Her family is especially thankful to everyone at the McNair Manor and Spencer's Nursing Home for their attentive care and compassion.
