August 28, 2019
Her mission on Earth fulfilled, our dearly departed Dorothy Rausch passed away from us on Wednesday, August 28, 2019 at the age of 85. We miss her loving presence and her fun, original and sparky personality. Dorothy was a role model for many of us in the family; independent and self reliant before feminism was ever a term. She was a loving and supportive person; always there for her family, like a second mother and a surrogate gramma. She loved and adored children. Dorothy was a Senior Supervisor at the City of Calgary AID Center (Advice, Information and Direction) until retirement, and a founding member of Centre Street Church. She is survived by her brother Ken (Isabel) Rausch, and predeceased by her sisters Bertha, Adele and Martha, as well as her brothers Al, Sam and Bill. Heartfelt thanks from Dorothy’s family goes out to the staff at Cochrane Bethany Care Centre for the caring and compassionate family environment that eased Dorothy’s final days (and years).
Memorial Service will be held at Centre Street Church (3900 2 St NE, Calgary, AB, T2E 9C1 – Chapel on the 2nd floor) at 1:00 pm Monday, September 9, 2019. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to Centre Street Church: flagged for missions, or to Samaritan’s Purse.
Arrangements entrusted to Cochrane Country Funeral Home, Florence (Flo) Simpson, Funeral Director. Ph: 403-932-1039.
