Dorothy Westlake

The Lord opened his arms and took Dorothy to be joined again with her loving Raymond. Dorothy was also predeceased by her mother and father Jane (Cormier) and William Lorrette, sister and brother - in law Susan and Reuben Rector, brothers Ernest and Wilfred Lorrette. Also, by extended family members, Anthony Westlake survived by his wife Phyliss and family, and by Sharon (Westlake) Cooke survived by her family.

Living a well rounded life Dorothy played baseball with the Amherst Red Wings and with the army when she enlisted during WWII. You can see her in her uniform at the Woman's Mural on Prince Arthur St. Coming home she tried her hand at golf, joined the Lady's Auxiliary, bowled and worked many years at Pugsley's Pharmacy. Although "Dotty" became a friend to almost everyone she came in contact with, we must give special mention to Joanne Dobson, Judy Griffths, Betty Jardine, Dana and Nancy Richard and especially to her everyday phone buddy Theresa Burns. These people were counted among her most "Intimate" family. We would like to thank John and Beth Munroe and all the staff of  Pugsley's Pharmacy for their kindness and watchful eyes over the years. "May God Bless".

Dorothy leaves behind Nancy (Westlake) and Edd Allen of Hamilton.

Following Dorothy's wishes cremation has taken place with a private family interment. Arrangements have been entrusted to the care of the Furlong-Jones Funeral Home (70 Church St. Amherst, NS. 667-8777). A mass of remembrance will be held at the Holy Family Parish on Tuesday, February 23, 2010 at 10 a.m.

Family flowers only. If desired, memorial donations may be made to the Holy Family Parish.
