DOROTHY MARY STEINKE 1924 - 2018 It is with great sadness the family announces the passing of Dorothy Steinke on Friday, January 26, 2018 at the age of 93 years. Left to cherish her memory are her sons, Michael (Penny) and Tim; grandchildren, Maureen (Vic), Scott (Jamie), Michelle (Rob) and Kevin (Thuy), Sheri and Robbie; great-grandchildren, Todd, Farrah, Kane, Katrina and Kaylee. Also remembering her, are her sisters, Norma and Audrey from Ottawa; and sisters-in-law, Martha and Ida, as well as many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her husband Lou; daughters, Diane and Nancy, her sister Muriel and brother Stanley. Dorothy was born in Ottawa and moved to Winnipeg in the late 1950s when she started her career with the Federal Government as a Counsellor. She was a very strong, independent and hard working person. She was an avid church goer and attended church every Sunday at the St. Bernadette Parish. She also enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. When she retired, she began travelling with her husband Lou to many destinations, including Hawaii and Europe. She especially liked her Alaskan cruises which she went on several times with her husband Lou, her son Tim, her friends, her sister Norma and her granddaughters, Michelle and Maureen. She also enjoyed many visits to Ottawa to visit her family. They also spent the harsh Winnipeg winters in Arizona at their trailer for six months of the year. Dorothy made many friends through her travels and will be sadly missed by her family and friends. A celebration of Dorothy's life will be held on Monday, April 30 at 1:00 p.m. in the Coutu Funeral Chapel, 680 Archibald Street. In lieu of flowers, if friends so desire, donations in memory of Dorothy may be to the Alzheimer Society of Manitoba. E.J. COUTU & CO. FUNERAL DIRECTORS 204-253-5086 ejcoutu.com
