January 28, 1923 – April 5, 2022

After a beautiful and long life our beloved mom, Dorothy Grace McWilliam, age 99, passed away on April 5, 2022 in Kamloops.

Dorothy was born in Provost Alberta on January 28, 1923 and grew up in Little Gap and Clover Lawn Alberta. In the 1940’s Dorothy left Alberta and moved to Vancouver where she met Allan and they married in 1950. They moved to Kamloops in 1952 and Allan started his land surveying company.

Dorothy and Allan built their forever home on Fraser Street in 1958 and together raised their two children. The family spent most weekends in the summer at their cabin on little Shuswap Lake leaving the family with wonderful memories to treasure.

Dorothy was a kind, quiet and loving person who treasured her family first and foremost and never complained a day in her life.

Dorothy left her home of 58 years in 2016 to live with her daughter and son-in-law in Rosehill and enjoyed relaxing on the deck watching wildlife and sipping on a beer.

Dorothy was predeceased by her husband Allan Woodman McWilliam, her parents Ingvald and Elsie Rudd (Ackerman), her brothers Theodore and Melvin Rudd, her sisters Vera Norgaard and Thelma Kortgaard and brother-in-laws Gordon Norgaard, Don Kortgaard and Bill Roberts. Dorothy leaves behind her Son Kevin, daughter Cheryl (Wayne Johnson), her granddaughter Kerri (Kurtis Golka)and her great grandsons Kayden, Kooper and Kienen Golka, her sister-in-law June Roberts and several nieces and nephews.

We will miss you Mom! Say Hi to Dad!

A heartfelt thank you to Dr. Malan for his gentle and compassionate care for Dorothy over many years. The family would also like to thank the wonderful caregivers of Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice.

No service will be held.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice House.
