We have many fond memories of times spent with Dorothy and David since the early 1970s. Dorothy was a very compassionate person, who was always willing to help whenever needed.
She had a very interesting and rewarding career and a life full of good friends.
With our sincere sympathies,

Dorothy and Dave Proudfoot were our neighbours on Gellatly Road when I was growing up in the 70’s. Dorothy was such a pleasant, strong woman, an excellent role model for a young girl who helped to steer me in my career direction. She and her husband were great friends with my parents (predeceased)and I have many fond memories of us all sharing occasions, both large and small, together.
I am very sorry for your loss.
With kind regards,
Linda Spiller (nee: Gaigg)
