Obituary for Dora Christine Will
WILL, Dora Christine
June 26, 1947 – January 13, 2019
Dora Will (nee Campbell) was born June 26, 1947 in Vulcan, Alberta, and passed away Sunday, January 13, 2019. She is lovingly remembered by her husband, Gordon; sons, Ryan (Kelly) and Michael (Adrienne); daughter, Erin (Patrick) and her very precious granddaughter, Josephine. She will also be missed by her brothers, John, Barry (Helen), and David and her niece and nephews.
Dora embraced everything life had to offer. She loved music and was known to burst into song without provocation. She was always open to new adventures, whether it was camping in the backcountry of Banff or trekking to see Machu Pichu. Dora had a voracious appetite for crossword puzzles and could often be found with a cat on her lap and a pencil in hand, working on two or three puzzles simultaneously. Dora found her passion and calling as a teacher. She possessed the unique skill of instilling in others a love of learning and encouraging them to pursue their dreams. Nothing filled her with more joy than learning of the accomplishments of her former students.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests you consider making a donation in Dora’s memory to your local food bank.
A Celebration of Dora’s Life will be held at the Strathmore Travelodge (350 Ridge Road, Strathmore) on Saturday, February 2, 2019 at 1:00 pm.
