Dear PGFSO Friends,
Reesor, Dorothy Anna (Diller)
It is with sadness and gratitude that we announce the passing of Dorothy Reesor a long time and contributing member of the YORK Chapter – PGFSO – on June 3, 2024 in her 94th year.
Dorothy was predeceased by her beloved husband Murray in 2013.
Peacefully at home on June 3, 2024 in her 94th year. Dorothy was the much-loved mother to Paul and Ann, Lois, Laura and Mark Brubacher, Barry and Lori. She was Gma to Chris and Matt, Katelyn, Jennifer and Jaclyn Brubacher, Emma (Graham) and Peter (Jessica). She adored you all! It is a tremendous comfort to know that she saw you both frequently and recently.
Dorothy is survived by brother Herb Diller, with whom she had a lovely visit days before her passing, and brother-in-law Howard Burkholder. Dorothy was predeceased by her beloved husband Murray in 2013, her grandson Jonathon in 1997 as well as her sisters Marie (in infancy), Eileen Martin (Alvin, Henry), Norma Smith (Albert) and Myrna Burkholder.
Dorothy had a strong and quiet faith. She loved her family, she loved food and she had a lifelong love of flowers. She was a talented cook and energetic farm wife. Until the past few years, none of us could keep up with her! Losing her feels like when the Queen died – we’ve never known life without her. She devoted herself to her family and we will miss her terribly.
Always an active person, Dorothy volunteered at the Markham-Stouffville Hospital, Markham Garden Club, Markham Fair, Pennsylvania German Folklore Society and the Markham Historical Society.
Visitation will be held at Dixon-Garland Funeral Home on 166 Main Street North, Markham, (Markham Road) Memorial on Wednesday June 12th 2024 from 2-4 & 7-9 pm. Memorial Service will be held at Rouge Valley Mennonite Church, 7452 Reesor Road, Markham on Thursday June 13, 2024 at 1:30 pm. The family wishes to thank Dr. Mui for her exceptional care, as well as Armin and the other nurses at SRT.
Donations to Mennonite Central Committee or The Canadian Foodgrains Bank would be appreciated.
