In Loving Memory of Dorothy "Dolly" Millicent Arenburg
Dorothy Millicent Arenburg, born on December 16, 1960, in Corner Brook, Newfoundland, peacefully passed away on January 24, 2024. She was the beloved daughter of Raymond and Grace Oxford.
Her early life in Newfoundland was a chapter that paved the way for an extraordinary love story. After meeting Randall at the hotel where she worked, he swept her away to Nova Scotia, where Dolly and Randall embarked on a 35-year marriage, characterized by a love like no other.
Dolly, a woman of profound love and incredible resilience, navigated various job roles, including call center positions, where she formed lasting friendships. Dedicated years were also spent at home, raising her children, and extending her nurturing care to other children in the home as well.
A source of immeasurable joy for Dolly was her role as a grandmother. Her pride and love for her grandchildren, Noah, Finn, and Abigail, knew no bounds, creating bonds that will echo through generations.
Dolly's zest for life manifested in her love for adventure with her husband and family. She found delight in spending time at Rayport Campground, embarking on road trips, enjoying scenic drives, and relishing the simple pleasures of shopping and self-care, always with a flair for getting her hair and nails done.
Together with Randall, she crafted a treasure trove of memories through their travels to destinations like Las Vegas, Bermuda, Grand Bahamas, and Florida. Each journey marked not only by the places they visited but by the shared laughter and moments that defined their life together.
A recent description by a friend perfectly captures Dolly's essence - a "beautiful soul and heart" who would go to great lengths for anyone in need. Kind, caring, and devoted, Dolly's impact on the lives she touched will be a lasting legacy.
As we bid farewell to Dolly, let us remember her not with sorrow but with gratitude for the love, laughter, and warmth she brought into our lives. May her spirit continue to shine brightly in the memories we hold dear.
Dolly is survived by her husband, Randall; children Randy (Amanda), and Melanie (Justin); grandchildren, Noah, Finn, and Abigail; brothers Raymond, Mike, and John; sisters Joyce, Sadie, and Rose; long time friend Geneva, Goddaughter Christina; and many nieces and nephews.
Dolly was predeceased by her parents, Raymond and Grace; Mother-in-law, Helen, and Father-in-law, Earle.
Visitation will be held from 5-7pm on Monday January 29, 2024. Funeral service 11:00am Tuesday, both in R.A. Corkum Funeral Home, Wileville. Reverend Willis Ott officiating. Burial will follow in Ascension Lutheran Cemetery, Conquerall Mills.
The family kindly requests donations be made to Ascension Lutheran Cemetery, or Huntington Society of Canada in Dolly's honor.
