Beloved wife of 67 years to Leslie Stratford, who passed away on May 21st.

Dorothy was predeceased by her older siblings Denis and Margaret, both of whom were devoted to their little sister. Born in Birmingham, England on April 13th, 1924, she and Leslie were married in 1944, immigrating with their growing family to Canada in 1952, settling in the Hamilton area. Throughout her life, Dorothy was patient, gentle, and devoted to her husband and family. She will be deeply missed by all of us who loved and cared for her, as she had always done for others.
