Mary Dorey
November 22, 2012
After a brief and courageous battle with cancer, her family is saddened to announce the passing of Mary Dorey, on Thursday, November 22nd, 2012. She was a wonderful mother and grandmother. Mary was a war bride and came to Canada from England in 1946. She raised her three boys in Welland and moved to Pt. Colborne when her husband retired. Mary lived at Chelsey Park Retirement Home for many years and, more recently, at Extendicare, in London. Beloved wife of the late Charles Dorey. Loving mother of David, Douglas (Darlene) and Duncan (Susan). Proud grandmother of Daniel, Michael and Sean. We wish to thank Helping Hands (Harvey) for their expert and very kind care of Mary, while she was going through treatment.
Mom:
You did so many things for us,
Your heart was kind and true
And when we needed someone
We could always count on you
And all that life has given us
And all that’s left to do
We will never have a greater gift
Than our memories of you.
At Mary’s request, there will be no funeral service. If desired, memorial contributions to the London Humane Society would be appreciated by the family. Mary loved her “grand dog Daisy May” so very much!

Doug, Duncan and David, Both my mother Katie and me are very sorry to learn about the passing of your mother Mary. I can still remember your mother calling you boys in for meals when we used to play in the tree house, and around the ponds and the ball diamond in the open space behind your home on Kilgour Avenue. Our thoughts and sympathies are with you in his time of loss.
