WATERS, Dorothy Matilda (née Woods)

Passed away peacefully surrounded by the love of her family.  Beloved wife of the late Wilbur Waters.  Loving mother of Donna Bowden (late James Bowden). Cherished grandmother of Angie Tone (Corey), Jared Brown (Melissa), and Dustin Brown (Stacey). Adored great-grandmother to Wyland, Marley, Alice, Clara and Jesse.  Predeceased by her daughter Lynn Brown, her parents Edward and Jessie Woods, as well as her seven brothers and five sisters. Dorothy, also known as “Nanny” will be remembered as a strong, generous, kind woman and a real go getter. She was always on the go and worked hard well past retirement age, as a house keeper for many years in the Mount Forest area.  Her persona was feisty, stylish and well kept, making sure not to miss a single Friday going to the salon to get her hair done. She was renowned for making a mean butter tart and if you were visiting at her home, you always left with a full belly. There are a lot of her sayings that would make you smile, laugh, and sometimes sigh.  One was “it’s a great life, if you don’t weaken”.  Certainly, Dorothy did not weaken and lived a long beautiful life. She will be missed by all who knew her. To honour Dorothy’s wishes, cremation has taken place. A private interment and gathering will be held.

With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look!  The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people.  And God himself will be with them.  And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore.  The former things have passed away.” Revelation 21:3,4
