Dartmouth, NS
October 13, 1940 - October 26, 2024
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother and grammie, Dorothy, who passed away at home on October 26th, 2024.
Born in Boston, she spent the majority of her life living in Dartmouth Nova Scotia. After marrying, she lived her life in East Lawrencetown on the Crowell Road in our family home. She absolutely loved the community and many of the children in the neighborhood remember her fondly.
Dorothy worked as a secretary at the Nova Scotia Hospital for a few years until she decided to dedicate her life to her family as a homemaker.
She was extremely dedicated to her family, particularly her grandchildren, Jordan and Breea. They were her greatest joys. Spending much time babysitting them in their younger years and attending almost all of their sporting events. Strongly encouraging them from the stands. She formed lasting beautiful memories for them to cherish. Never missing an opportunity to express her love for them.
She adored spending time with her husband John (Sonny), and anyone who knew them could see the intense love they shared. There was rarely a time they were not seen holding hands.
We will remember her as being feisty and fiercely protective of her loved ones.
Dorothy is survived by her husband, and soulmate, John (Sonny) Ross Terry; her two loving children, daughter Judith Webber (Vern), and son Jeremy Terry; and her two adoring grandchildren: Jordan Webber and Breea Webber.
Also, sisters and brothers on her husband’s side of the family who she loved dearly.
Dorothy was predeceased by her mother, Ruth Nichols, and brother, William Nichols (Jenny).
To honor her wishes, there will be no official service, however, the family will plan a celebration of life in the new year.
Donations can be made to the Heart & Stroke Foundation in her memory.
