Dorothy Alice Ruddock
August 26. 1924 - October 13, 2017
On Friday, October 13, 2017 Dorothy Alice Ruddock passed away peacefully at the Village at Mill Creek Residence in Kelowna, British Columbia.
Dorothy was predeceased by her loving husband, John Arthur Ruddock, having shared a happy marriage lasting 71 years. She was also predeceased by her son Brian and her grandson Stuart.
Art and Dot married shortly after WWII. She was a military wife who followed her husband from her home town of Winnipeg to Ottawa to Cobourg to Kingston and then back home to Winnipeg with five children in tow.
Dot was a strong and loving stay-at-home mother for most of her life. But when her children became more independent she started work at the Manitoba Motor League. She loved her job and stayed there until her retirement in the late '80's when she and Art followed their dream and relocated to the Okanagan Valley. Mom and Dad enjoyed more than 25 years of contented leisure in Kelowna and also vacationed often in the Caribbean, Cuba and Hawaii. They were a busy retired couple.
Throughout the years Dorothy was an active member of the United Church of Canada and the Ladies Auxiliary. She was a loyal friend and was always ready to help others when the need arose.
A Celebration of Life will be held at Mosaic Event Centre, 1006 Nairn Ave., Winnipeg, MB. on Friday, December 1, 2017 at 1:00 PM. till 4:00 PM.
