Obituary for Dorothy Irene Muir (Pullin)

Dorothy Irene  Muir (Pullin)
Muir, Dorothy I. (Pullin)
Peacefully at Ottawa General Hospital on Sunday, June 26th, 2016 at the age of 88 years. Dorothy (nee Pullin) was born in Petitcodiac NB, and grew up in nearby Moncton. She graduated with a BA in 1948 from Mount Allison University in Sackville NB, and subsequently moved to Montreal to work as a secretary. Dorothy met her husband Don in Montreal, and they were married in 1951. They settled in the community of Beaurepaire on Montreal's west island, and raised 4 children, followed by a move to Ottawa in 1970. Dorothy rejoined the workforce in 1976 to work at Atomic Energy of Canada as a vice-president's administration assistant. After retirement, Dorothy and Don moved to Perth in 1990. Dorothy had many interests throughout her lifetime, including gardening, swimming, crafts, sewing, reading, music and puzzles, and was an active member in her church. Her enjoyable retirement included many happy hours at the family cottage at Black Lake, travelling with Don, and being part of the Perth community through various activities and volunteer work. Dorothy was recently awarded a pin for 4500 hours of service with the Perth hospital auxiliary. Dearly loved mother of Judy, Brenda (Michel Landreville) and Brian (Betsy) Muir. Cherished grandmother of Carolyn Webb (Conan Hoye), Erin Leadston (Abdullah Saad), Marina and Natalie Muir; great grandmother of Luke and Dylan. Dorothy was predeceased by Don, her husband of 63 years, daughter Sheila Webb, brothers Lloyd and Norm Pullin. She will be sadly missed by all her family and many friends. Funeral service will be held in St. Paul's United Church, Perth on Wednesday June 29th at 11:00 A.M. followed by a reception in the church hall. Private interment will take place in Beechwood Cemetery, Ottawa. Dorothy's family wish to thank the staff on the 6th floor oncology unit at Ottawa General Hospital for their kindness, compassion and care. In remembrance, contributions to the Mission and Service Fund of the United Church of Canada, or the Great War Memorial Hospital Foundation, 33 Drummond St. W. Perth, ON K7H 2K1 would be appreciated. Arrangements are in the care of Blair & Son Funeral Home, 15 Gore St., West, Perth.
