Dorothy Elaine MACLEOD

RATZ, Dorothy Elaine (MacLeod), loving companion and wife to Bill for nearly 60 years, passed away peacefully on June 6th, 2007 at their home north of Owen Sound after a courageous battle with cancer. Dorothy's gentle personality and wit are already being missed by Bill, their four daughters and their families: Evelyn Curphey (Dave) of Fonthill (daughters Riley Gohm (Travis) and Jacquelyn), Susan Goldman (Steve) of Little Pine Tree Harbour (son Jesse (Larisa) and baby Isabel, son Japhy, daughter Sarah Bassi-Goldman (Alberto) and son Aaron), Elizabeth McKay (David) of Owen Sound (son Alec and daughter Megan), and Barbara Pigott (Paul) of Burlington (daughters Stephanie and Margie). Dorothy is also survived by her cherished brother Arnold MacLeod and his wife Louise of Uigg, Prince Edward Island. Dorothy was born in Prince Edward Island, taught briefly in rural schools there, later graduated from Acadia University, and then moved to Kitchener where she formed many valued friendships at both the YMCA and at the Mutual Life office. Dorothy and Bill were married in 1950, resided in Hamilton, Burlington, and Carlisle until 2000, when they moved to Georgian Bluffs. A Private Memorial Service will be held by immediate family. Interment will take place later at the Community Cemetery near her birthplace in Prince Edward Island.
