Dorothy Elizabeth Douglas

DOUGLAS: Dorothy E.

December 10, 1946 - July 27, 2022

Dorothy Douglas passed away after a courageous battle with cancer on July 27 at 1:55 p.m. at the age of 75, with her family surrounding her. Dorothy was born in Wynyard, Saskatchewan on December 10, 1946, to Donald and Mary Smith. She was raised on the family farm with her older brothers, Murray and Harold and her twin brother Brian. She had many great memories of growing up on the farm, especially all the trouble she and Brian got into together on the farm. Dorothy met Terry when they were 18 years old in Regina at the Tasty Freeze while both were on a break from their jobs in the same area. Dorothy was working at an insurance company and Terry at Safeway. They quickly fell in love and got married on October 1, 1966, in Copeland Church and have remained strong together until her passing. They settled in Young in July 1970 in the trailer park, as Terry had begun his long career at the Colonsay Potash mine. They met many of their lifelong friends here and started their family, eventually welcoming their daughter Cindy and sons Kevin and Kent.

Dorothy and Terry were very involved parents who encouraged, watched, and coached them in many sports and activities. Camping and fishing were a considerable part of their lives. They joined their family friends and children on many trips to Wakaw Lake and fishing spots in the north. Later in life, they welcomed their granddaughters Kennedi and Skyler, grandsons Chase and Maxwell and youngest granddaughter Isabel. Dorothy had a huge presence in their lives, and following tradition, Dorothy and Terry would drive many places to watch them dance and play every sport imaginable. Dorothy had many friends far and near, as they became snowbirds starting in the winter of 2009 and then bought their second home in Mesa, Arizona, in October 2013 until Dorothy was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in January 2019. Dorothy battled hard, and her strength, courage and hope shone through. Family and friends rallied with her until she took her final breath. Dorothy enjoyed crocheting, sewing, playing Bingo, baking, puzzles, gardening, Diamond Dotz, having tea, sharing her baking with friends, casino trips, camping, fishing, and golfing.

Dorothy was predeceased by her parents, Donald and Mary Smith, father and mother-in-law Robert and June Douglas, sister Francis Elsie in infancy, brothers Harold and twin brother Brian, Aunt Flo and niece Susan Bainbridge. She is survived by her loving husband Terry; daughter Cindy and sons Kevin (Carmen) and Kent (Rhonda); granddaughters Kennedi (Brett), Skyler (Jayden), Isabel and grandsons Chase and Maxwell; brother Murray (Gordena) and sister-in-laws Kay and Niki; nephews Gordon, Scott (Diane), Paul and Colin (Julie) and nieces Penny, Donna (Barry) and Heather (Dan); numerous great nieces, nephews and cousins.

A Memorial Service will take place at the Young Community Hall, 201 Main St., Young, SK, on Tuesday, August 2nd, 2022, at 2:00 p.m. A Memorial Reception will also be held immediately following the service. Interment will take place at a later date.
