Dalores died peacefully after a well fought battle with Cancer on December 25, 2020 in Victoria, BC at Sunrise Senior Living. She was born on April 3, 1937 in Calgary, Alberta.
She is survived by her husband Ian; her daughter Laurie (Edwin) Dumas; her son Gregg (Colleen); her grandchildren Jane, Grace, Jenna Illy(Jeremy), Andrew (Monica), and great-grandson Roscoe. Dalores was predeceased by two brothers, Terry and Dennis and she will be missed by many other relatives and friends.
Dalores and Ian were married 62 years ago on March 15, 1958 and lived in New Westminster, BC where their children were born. They were transferred by Imperial Oil to Edmonton, Alberta, where they remained for two years and then decided to move to Victoria, so they would be closer to her parents in Nanaimo. Ian worked for the City of Victoria and the Provincial Government and retired in 1995.
She was a proud stay-at-home mother while the children were in school and then decided to re-enter the work force at Hillside Shopping Center. Dalores enjoyed playing bridge with her several girl friends, was a member of Zonta, and a gracious hostess for many family get-togethers and also enjoyed games of Mexican Train in the evenings with friends.
Because of Covid19 restrictions, a family celebration of Dalores’s life will be held at a later date to be announced. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the BC Cancer Agency, 2410 Lee Avenue, Victoria, BC, V8R 6V5.
