DOROTHY KONOPASKI,

KONOPASKI, Dorothy – the family regrets to announce, Dorothy passed away at the age of 77, on Saturday, June 16, 2012, at the Kirkland & District Hospital. She was predeceased by: her beloved husband, Charles; her parents Joseph and Catherine (née Colquhoun) Bates; sister, Lucy; and brothers, Stewart, George and Wilbert. Dorothy is survived by: her son, Shawn (Kim); grandchildren, Miranda and George: sisters, Edna (Don) Mills and Mary Scott; and many nieces and nephews. Dorothy was a fighter and wanted to live. Even though she had cancer for over 2 decades, she appreciated what life had to offer and did everything within her power to stay alive. She enjoyed her time spent in both the Horticultural Club and the Encore Club. Dorothy could often be found with friends at the Kirkland Lake Tim Hortons. Her thirst for life and fighting spirit remained to the end; even on the day of her death, Dorothy insisted that her family bring clothing to the hospital for her to wear home. She will be remembered. The family will welcome friends at the MONETTE & FRENCH FUNERAL HOME (450 Government Road West, Kirkland Lake, ON., P2N 3L1) on Wednesday, June 20, 2012 from 2:00 to 4:00 and 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. A Funeral Service will be held in the “Teck-Hughes” Chapel of the Monette & French Funeral Home on Thursday, June 21, 2012 at 10:00 a.m. with Pastor Carl Matthews officiating.

I didn’t know Dorothy well, but enough to know she was a very special lady. I first met Dorothy, with her friends Elsie and Hazel, at the horticultural meetings; then we spent time together at the oncology clinic at KDH when we were both undergoing treatment in 2010. She fought for years and I am so sorry she lost the battle. Treasure your memories. With my sincere sympathy!

I met Dorothy through the Horticulutural Society. She would come out and help out at various events, telling her stories and jokes. She struck me as a very strong person, doing her part to make things better. We will miss her.
