In memory of

Dorine Margaret Dinsdale

March 3, 1940 -  May 30, 2021

Dear Family and Friends, it is with unimaginable grief that I, Brian Dinsdale, announce the sudden passing of my wife Dorine Margaret Dinsdale (nee. Douglas), on Sunday, May 30, 2021. I cannot find words to describe my pain; nor to adequately acknowledge your many wonderful messages of love, I am overwhelmed and so comforted by them. Over and over you say of Do, ---- “a beautiful star that shines so brightly, kind spirit, beautiful woman, wonderful soul, band mother, kind and gentle soul, sweetheart, beautiful angel, amazing Grandma, class all the way, exuded kindness and love, special lady, beautiful person inside and out, what a doll, sunshine, ultimate caregiver, wonderful woman and partner, affectionate smile and generous spirit, a beautiful star that shines bright everywhere she went, a legacy of kindness, sweetness and thoughtfulness, Dinny’s life partner and number one fan”. How blessed I have been, to have all this in the woman I love so much. Do is God’s gift, put in my life at a time when I really needed someone to love me. Every minute we have been together over these past nineteen years, we knew how much we loved each other. Our song, “MORE THAN THE GREATEST LOVE, THE WORLD HAS KNOWN, ------ I ONLY LIVE, TO LOVE YOU, MORE EACH DAY ---“.

Dorine will be dearly missed by her sisters Helen and Marilyn, her many nieces and nephews, grandchildren and her loving cat Asia. Dorine is predeceased by brother Paul, sisters Patricia and Jane.

Due to strict COVID restrictions, a Private Family Visitation will be held on Friday, June 4th from 9:00 – 10:00 AM at York Funeral Centre, followed by a Funeral Service at 10:00 AM. A celebration memorial in New Orleans Tradition, will be held at a future date. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you please consider donating to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, or St. Michael’s Hospital in Dorine’s memory.

Dear Brian and all of the family,
At this time of great sorry, we want you to know that you are in our thoughts.

Your sorrow and sadness will fade with time,
Although you can never forget.
The pain and sorrow will grow dim,
Though maybe not yet, not quite yet.

Aunt Dorine you left me with memories and I love you dearly. No matter how much time goes by, you know I always will. You were a very special person, with kindness, love and generosity in your heart, and the love we shared together, grows stronger now that we’re apart. I know I cannot bring you back, although I wish every day I could, but a piece of me went with you the day you went away. I’ll love you till the end of the time, and cherish all of memories but I don’t think the heart break I’m feeling will ever go away. I love you Aunt Dorine and I hope you are at peace, Eddy , Cristian and I will never forget you and will always keep you in our hearts. Please RIP until we meet again 💕

Dinny,

Cathy and I send our Sincerest Condolences to you and your family on the passing of Do.

In the mean time, know that you have many many friends who care for you and hold you in their thoughts and prayers.

Dearest Brian

The pain of not having Dorine being in my life anymore is unbearable and not seeing her physically I can't tell you the pain this will cause me

I will carry her picture with me always but it is no replacement for her.

The Memories of HUGE Breakfasts at Christmas with the entire Family.
The Christmas Tree looking like Santa dumped his whole Sleigh off under the Tree.

Then my goodness the Christmas Supper blew our Minds a 25lb Turkey cooked to perfection with all the Trimmings. Oh then their were Homemade Lemon Meringue and Pumpkin Pies.

No one can take those away from us.

The Memories you will carry in your Heart are Treasures of your DO will always be there. We all that NO ONE LOVED HER MORE.

We will Miss you Sis in our Hearts and in our Lives.

Love
Helen and Marilyn

Brian....Do was such a angel. I know there is a special place for her in heaven.
Still remember her making sure we had the best seats in the house for my group.
Always had time for a warm hug and to sit and chat with us when we arrived.
I remember she made sure all the band members looked spiffy and was so proud of you. You are both in my thoughts and prayers. God bless you. Ken
