STRILCHUK, DOROTHY IRENE

(nee Campbell)

"To live in the hearts of loved ones is to live forever."

Dorothy was born in Olds, Alberta, on May 27, 1926.  

She passed away peacefully February 27, 2016, at the

age of 89.   She and her brother, Roy, grew up in Lumberton and Cranbrook, B.C.  She graduated from high school in Cranbrook and was a proud member of the Girls Bugle Band.  She went on to train as a Registered Nurse, followed

by a nursing career at St. Mary鈥檚 Hospital.  She married Walter Strilchuk from Kimberley, B.C., and they raised their children in Kitimat, B.C., and 琉璃神社. She was a very creative woman which she expressed in her music by playing the piano and in many forms of artwork through painting. In retirement she enjoyed traveling to many parts of the world, playing golf, and being at the cabin at Headwaters.  She was preceded in death by her husband, Walter J. Strilchuk (2007).  She was the proud mother of Susan (Mohr), Judy (Marshall), Danny (deceased 2010) and David.  Mourning her loss are 3 children and

their partners, 4 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren.
