Obituary
Dorothy Elizabeth Lee, 87, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, June 26, 2024, at the Health Science Complex in St. Johns, NL. Born on April 4, 1937, in Halifax, NS, to Sarah (Baker) and Henry Streeter, Dorothy, affectionately known as “Dot,” held many cherished roles in her life: wife, mother, nanny, GG, sister, and “dodo.”
On June 29, 1957, Dorothy married Robert (Bob) in Halifax, NS, beginning a lifelong journey of love and companionship. She spent several years working for Canada Post, where her exceptional ability to connect with people left a lasting impact on everyone she met.
Dorothy’s talents extended beyond her professional life. She was a gifted baker, and her recipes have been treasured and passed down through generations. However, the most important thing to Dorothy was being surrounded by her loving family.
She is survived by her devoted husband Robert and their five children: Derrick, Vivian (William), Judy (Rodger), Susan (Francis), and Mary. Dorothy’s legacy also lives on through her ten grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.
Family, friends, and all whose lives Dorothy touched are invited to a service St. Paul’s Anglican Church in Goulds on Tuesday, July 2, at 2 pm.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada.
