1924 – 2011

pioneers starting their Char-O-Clare Stock Farm herd in 1958, Pilot Mound, Manitoba. They both worked tirelessly promoting Charolais locally and nationally. Dorothy was First Lady of the Canadian Charolais Association in 1964-1965 when Clare was president.

Dorothy is fondly remembered for her hard work and commitment to others. She was very involved in the Pilot Mound United Church at all levels. Dorothy was a great cook and her pies were always a favourite at the Fall Suppers and of course with her family on all occasions.

Dorothy’s biggest commitment was to her children. She would take them on driving trips around Manitoba and into the United States making sure they knew the world was bigger than just the farm at Pilot Mound. She was always teaching them the important little lessons of life. She never stopped loving her children and many grandchildren no matter what they got up to.

She was known for her hard work and creative nature. She was often asked to write a poem to celebrate special occasions for family and friends, and made whomever the poem was designed for feel like they were the most important person in the world.
