We will be celebrating Dorothy’s 33,922 days of life on Saturday, August 5, 2023 at the Island Funeral Home in Little Current at 11 am with a luncheon and graveside service at Hilly Grove Cemetery in Manitowaning to follow at 12:30 pm. Mom has asked to have people gather, mingle, enjoy each other’s company at the funeral home, then go directly to the cemetery. There will be no formal visitation/funeral; we will gather at the graveyard and say a few words. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the Mindemoya Hospital Auxiliary. Thank you! Mom’s last days were made comfortable and enjoyable thanks to Dr. O’Connor and all of the other medical staff from nurses to PSW to dietary to housekeeping. There are not enough words to say thank you.
