Caring great grandma of Adryck, Audrey, Wesley, Blake and Serenity. Dot will be fondly remembered by her many nieces, nephews, extended family members and friends. A woman of great faith, Dot will be remembered for her kindness and thoughtfulness and never forgetting to send a card for every occasion. With a childhood in Prince Edward Island and travels to interesting places in the world with Jim, Dot was always “at home” in PEI.

So sorry for the loss of such an amazing aunt. I will always remember the many times I visited Dot and Jim in Ottawa and was always treated as one of the family. I will remember Dot in my prayers and I offer my sympathy to her family.

Aunt Dot so many memories.. excited for their summer visits as a kid… to my family’s first visit to her house that shocked her so much she broke a toe .. to spending many days at her kitchen counter listening to stories and watching the Y&R… and having to go back in the house to have her finish a story when it lasted longer than ten minutes in the winter as she would come out to my car. I love you and will miss you forever Dot!

Gillett Family,

We are saddened to learn that Dot has passed away. We offer our sincere condolences. My parents, George & Carol knew and were neighbours and friends with Dot and Jim for a long time. She is with Jim now, may they both rest in peace and may you all cherish their lives well-lived. Take care!

Dot only came into our life a few short years ago. It is unfortunate that we were not able to enjoy her company and friendship for much longer. She was a strong minded individual who liked bingo at the Legion hall and the odd trip to the Casino (psst.. don't tell Cathie). Our condolence goes out to the rest of the family.
