Dorothy will be lovingly remembered by her partner and companion of ten years, Mike Hovanes; daughters Adrienne Krahenbil (Vern), Dianna (Maynard) Mallow, Norine (Todd) Johnson, Cheryl (Art) Friesen, and Nadine (Yeorgo) Traiforos; eight grandchildren Gordon (Amanda), Justin, Kyle (Brooklin), Evan, Daniel (Majken), Amanda (Paul), Julia and Dagny; great-grandson Nicholas; brothers Rudy (Irene), Bernard (Shirley) and Donald (Sylvia); sister Beatrice (Alfred) Sekel; as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Predeceased by her parents John and Vera Lautner, son-in-law Ed Guenther and husband John. Dorothy loved working with her hands, whether it be sewing, crocheting, quilting, baking or playing in the dirt? as she used to say. Her greatest accomplishments were her children and grandchildren. Dorothy was so proud to call them hers and would frequently brag about them to her friends.
