Dorothy Jean Ewert

1941- 2020

It is with great sadness that the family announces the passing of Dorothy Ewert, after a lengthy illness. Dorothy was born in North Vancouver on November 14, 1941. It was there, at 3 years of age, that she met her life-long friend, Cecilia Campbell.

Dorothy and Cecilia shared many experiences, perhaps the most important being their summers living in Yarrow and picking raspberries.

It was in Yarrow, at 15 years old, that Dorothy met her future husband, Fred Ewert. They were married in 1962.

Throughout their marriage of almost 58 years, they enjoyed travelling, particularly in their motorhome. They had many great adventures including the Alaska Highway, the Oregon Coast, annual trips to Reno and a cross-Canada trip. Dorothy enjoyed reading and was a very accomplished crafter. Her intricate cross-stitch creations not only decorated their home, they were often special gifts at weddings and other occasions.

Dorothy passed away April 20, 2020. She was predeceased by her father, mother, step-father and brother. She is survived by her husband, Fred Ewert, sons Chris (Davinder) and Mike, and grandchildren Chantel and Kalista.
