Dorothy was born and raised in Fort Garry. On November 30, 1957, she married Gary Erb, and together they resided and raised their children on the family farm in Oak Bluff.

She was the most loved mother and was truly the pillar of strength in the family. She will be remembered by those who knew her for her generosity and compassion. Her life revolved around loving and caring for her family.

As an active member of the Fort Garry Legion, Mom truly enjoyed her bingo, bowling, shuffleboard, cribbage, and the casino.

As per Mom’s wishes, cremation has taken place. A memorial service in her honour will be held at Oak Bluff Hall on March 8^th, 2024, at 1:00 p.m.

Mom, Grandma, Great-Grandma, you will live forever in our hearts!
