Margaret Dora May Strutt

STRUTT, Margaret Dora May

It is with an immeasurable sense of loss that we say goodbye to our wonderful Mother, Aunt, Grandmother and friend, Dora May Margaret Strutt (nee Lindberg). Dora May was a woman who lived to create beauty. From the wreath on her door, to the clothes that she wore, to her professional work as a hospital and human resources administrator, she strove to leave everything she touched a little better, a little lovelier and often a little cleaner than she found it. Hers was a creative and disciplined spirit. She left a legacy of art and craft in her wake; handmade cards, fresh baking, and more than a few home sewn outfits that we happily left behind in the 70’s. Whether we were going to school, working, or raising our own children, we never had to look far to find our role model, our capable leader, and our gentle teacher. Dora May leaves behind her three daughters, Kristin, Kari (Ken), and Amy-Jo (Tren); her grandchildren, Katherine, Daniel (their father Bruce), and Veronika; niece, Sharron (John) who was a tireless helper in Mom's final months. Waiting to greet Dora May in the great beyond is Joseph Strutt, her ‘forever Valentine’ and husband of 42 years; infant son, Timothy, lost at birth, but never forgotten and her precious grandson, Joseph Duff. Please join us in honouring Dora May's life on Friday, October 17,  at 1:00pm, at the Calgary Winter Club, 4611 - 14th St. NW, Calgary, AB. Our family wishes to acknowledge the staff and volunteers at Rosedale Hospice. Their compassion and caring during Mom's final weeks were a blessing. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to a charity you hold dear.
