<div itemprop="description">It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Dorothy Mabel Howison (born Harris), in Kirkland, on July 19, 2023, at age 88 after a brief illness. <br> <br>She will be lovingly remembered by her husband of 64 years, Jean-Pierre, as well as her children, Robert (Christine) and Nathalie (Scott), grandchildren Ryan, Owen, Madeleine, her siblings Tom (Carole), Jim (Joan), and many other family members and friends. <br> <br>Dorothy was predeceased by her mother Edna and brother Robert. <br> <br>Always on the go, Dorothy had a great zest for life and boundless energy. No matter the occasion, she was always up for hosting family and friends. She also loved sewing, creating everything from dresses, to cheerleading skirts, not to mention stage outfits and costumes for the kids. One of her greatest passions was traveling with her gang of usual suspects, logging many miles, and having many adventures along the way. <br> <br>Above all, Dorothy devoted her life to her family, deriving from it her greatest source of fulfillment, accomplishment, and pride. When it came to her family, her instinct to nurture was innate, providing support, encouragement, and boundless love, almost to a fault. <br> <br>Dorothy was our rock. We will miss her terribly, every minute of everyday, and will honor her memory by following the example she set for us all our lives, with optimism, love and resilience. <br> <br>Love you always. <br>Dad, Bob & Nat <br> <br>The family will receive condolences At Rideau Funeral Home, 4275 des Sources, Dollard-des-Ormeaux on Sunday July 23rd 2023 from 1:30pm to 5pm. <br>In lieu of flowers, donations made to the Teresa Dellar Palliative Care Centre in her name would be greatly appreciated. <br> <br> <br> <br>C'est avec un immense regret que nous vous annonçons le décès de Dorothy Howison (née Harris) à Kirkland le 19 juillet, à l'âge de 88 ans des suites d'une courte maladie. <br> <br>Elle laisse dans le deuil son époux Jean-Pierre, ses enfants Robert (Christine), Nathalie (Scott), ses petits-enfants Ryan, Owen, Madeleine, ses frères Thomas (Carol) et James (Joan), ainsi que plusieurs neveux, nièces, parents et amis. <br> <br>Elle fut prédécédée par sa mère Edna et son frère Robert. <br> <br>La famille recevra les condoléances au salon funéraire Rideau, 4275 boul. des Sources, Dollard-des-Ormeaux, le dimanche 23 juillet 2023 de 13:30-17h. <br>Au lieu de fleurs, un don fait en son nom au Centre de soins palliatifs Teresa Dellar serait apprécié. <br> <br></div>
