1918 – 2009
Dorothea passed away into the presence of her Lord early Friday morning. She is survived by her husband David, his four children, 5 grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren, plus 4 children, grand and great grandchildren of a previous marriage. Although none were her own, she loved them all. She worked at Rogers Sugar Refinery for approximately 25 years and as a real estate agent for a few years when she moved to Victoria from Coquitlam. She has been a member of Oaklands Chapel for many years and loved teaching younger children. She also loved her garden, especially the last six years. Memorial service will be held at Oaklands Chapel, 2736 Fernwood Road, Friday October second at 2pm. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to Camp Imadene Memorial Fund, 986 Clatworthy Ave., Victoria, B.C., V8X 3N6 or a charity of your choice.

Wayne Carter What an honor to know such a beautiful lady! We will miss her cheerfulness, always wanting to know how you were doing. She was always “just great” herself and enjoyed praising her Lord mixed in with a little gardening. Looking forward to seeing you again Dorothea, ‘ when we all get to heaven! ‘ We will be remembering you Dave and family at this time.

Beverley Dear Mr. Deeprose:
I am saddened to learn of the passing of Dorothea. My thoughts flood back to the early friendship established between the Hill family and the Deeprose family, beginning over 70 years ago. You and Dorothea remained incredible friends to my late mother and father, Harry and Florence.
I have been very blessed knowing you and I wish now to offer my sincere sympathy to you and your family at this difficult time.
love Beverley Smith (nee Hill)
On behalf of my sister, Fran Crook, I offer my deepest sympathy to Dave and the family of Dorothea. Dave and Dorothea were good friends to Fran over a lengthy period, and particularly when she lost her husband, Red. Fran suffers from dementia, but I know that if she were able, she would want to extend her sincere condolences.
