Obituary of Dorothy Jean Park

Park (née Rennie), Dorothy Jean – Born October 26, 1937, in Ingersoll, Ontario, Dorothy passed away peacefully at Victoria Hospital on Monday, September 29, 2025, in her 87th year.

She was the beloved wife of the late Robert Park (predeceased May 7, 2017), and a deeply cherished mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and friend.

Dorothy will be lovingly remembered by her children, Ken (of Cold Lake, Alberta) and Connie (of Chilliwack, B.C.); her grandchildren Eileen, Max, Rob, Dorothy, and Misty Rose; as well as her nine great-grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren, each of whom held a special place in her heart. She is survived by her brother, Glen, and is now reunited in peace with her beloved daughter Linda; her parents, Mabel and Gordon Rennie; her brother Harold; and her grandsons Darrell, Aaron, and baby Seth. She was also predeceased by her in-laws, John and Stella Park.

Dorothy lived a life full of love and quiet strength. She was a gifted baker and chef, an incredible gardener, an avid reader, a lover of animals, and exceptionally skilled in needlework and creative crafts. She shared her warmth generously, and her legacy of care, kindness, and devotion to family lives on in all who knew and loved her.

The family would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to Joyce and John Firth, as well as Dorothy’s neighbours, the Richardson family, for their friendship and support over the years. Your kindness, companionship, and presence in her life meant more than words can express.

As per her wishes, there will be no visitation. Cremation has taken place. A private family interment service will be held on October 6, 2025, at Dorchester Cemetery.
