It is with deep sadness that the family announces the passing of Dorothy Edith Paulley (nee Luke) on the morning of April 9 at Lions Gate Hospital in North Vancouver, BC. She was 93 years old.
Dorothy/Mom/Grandma will be lovingly remembered by her daughters, Cheryl, Kim (George) and Deborah (Ed), grandchildren, Sean (Cheryl), Michelle (Fran), Charlotte (Nathan), Nicole, Natasha; and great-grandchildren, Vanessa and Matteo. She was predeceased by her brothers, Bill, Jimmy, Patrick, Ralph and her sisters, Margaret and Alice, and is survived by her sister Evelyn.
One of Dorothy's greatest passions was her love of singing, a love she passed on to her children and grandchildren. Songs and singers from musicals, especially Judy Garland, were her favourites. Her resemblance to Elizabeth Taylor was noted throughout her life, starting with seeing National Velvet and her family remarking: Our Dodie looks just like her! She was a very fashionable lady and worked at Eatons, Fairweather and Irene Hill over the years. She took pride in wearing stylish clothes and was often complimented on her fashion sense and how great she looked.
Dorothy showed strength, optimism and determination throughout her life, such as when she got her drivers license at 44 years, a milestone that supported her growing independence. Dorothy/Mom/Grandma was dearly loved and will be greatly missed.
A memorial service to honour and celebrate the life of Dorothy Paulley will take place on Monday, May 13, 2024, at 2:00 p.m. at Boel Chapel, 1505 Lillooet Rd., North Vancouver, BC.
