Dorothea Rose Priest

Dorothea Rose Priest, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, passed away on October 12, 2026, leaving behind a legacy of love, kindness, and cherished family memories.

Born August 13, 1929, in Castle Cary, England, Dorothea immigrated to Canada in 1957, where she built a life filled with family, hard work, and lasting memories. She shared more than 60 years of marriage with her beloved husband, Alfred J. Priest, who predeceased her in 2013.

Together, Dorothea and Alfred raised three children, Rosemarie, Geoff, and David. Her family continued to grow to include six grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren, all of whom held a special place in her heart.

Dorothea was known for her loving, thoughtful, and caring nature. She found great happiness in spending time with her family and enjoyed the simple pleasures of life, including socializing with others, playing board games, and gathering around the table for a game of cards. She treasured the connections she shared with others and brought warmth and companionship to those fortunate enough to know her.

Dorothea will be lovingly remembered by her family and friends for her kindness, her devotion to those she loved, and the many treasured memories she leaves behind. Her love will continue to live on through the generations of family she and Alfred created together.

Visitation will be held at Westview Funeral Home and Cremation Centre, 709 Wonderland Road North, London, on Friday, October 16, 2026, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Inurnment will take place on Friday, October 23, 2026, at 2:30 p.m. at St. Mary’s Cemetery, located at 34800 Brinsley Road, Ailsa Craig, Ontario, N0M 1A0.
