The family sadly announces the peaceful passage to heaven of Dorothy Tarr nee Rimmer on Friday, November 13, 2020. She was 96 years old.

Dorothy was born May 1, 1924 in Birkenhead, Cheshire, England to Dolly and Jack Rimmer. In 1945 Dorothy married Victor and later came to Canada as a War Bride. They lived in Nipawin, Prince Albert and later Saskatoon. Dorothy worked at Sears for over 30 years. Later in life they enjoyed traveling to many different countries and were winter visitors to Texas and Arizona. Dorothy enjoyed needlepoint, knitting and meeting friends for coffee after exercise class.
