It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Dorothy Helen Kilgour on September 10, 2008 at the Vancouver General Hospital. Dorothy will be greatly missed by her two daughters, Donna Sweet (Vancouver, BC) and Deirdre Trudgeon (White Rock, BC), her sister Jessie Lane (Barrhead, Alberta), her four grandchildren, Torry Trudgeon (Stony Plain, Alberta), Sean Trudgeon (Calgary, Alberta), Delaina Trudgeon (Rocky Mountain House, Alberta), and Kimberley Sweet (Vancouver, BC), her three great-grandchildren, Raina Trudgeon, Emma Trudgeon and Sophie Trudgeon, her sister-in-law Cathy Gare (Nelson, BC) and her many nieces, nephews and friends. Dorothy was predeceased by her husband, Ian Kilgour, in September of 1996 in Calgary where they had lived happily together for many years. Dorothy was an amazing woman who taught those around her how to survive life's obstacles. She was strong, generous and extremely intelligent and never failed to offer support and love to everyone around her. We will all miss her so very much.
