Dorothy (Timbers) Doner of Stouffville and formerly of Gowanstown and Gormley, passed away at Parkview Home on May 19, 2021 at the age of 100 years. She was predeceased by her loving husband of 69 years, Lloyd Doner, in 2013.
Dorothy was predeceased by her son John, in February, 2021 and is survived by daughter-in-law June Doner of Gormley, also survived by daughter Marilyn and husband Ron Stutzman of Arkport, New York and daughter Kathy and husband Willis Wideman of Kurtzville.
She is the cherished grandmother and greatgrandmother of Mark and Maria Doner (Cole, Julia), Lori and Dave Jones (Kendall, Peyton), Paul and Rebecca Doner (Lilyann, Elizabeth, John, Charlotte), Glenn and Dawn Doner (Riley, Olivia), Brad and Rubyan Stutzman (Isabela, Kailah), Jeff and Deodeth Stutzman (Agnes Suza, Avery Suza), Amy and Jason Hill (Sierra, Brayden), Dwayne and Beverly Wideman (Logan, Benjamin, Madelyn) and Daniel Wideman and his fiancée, Elena Boss.
Dorothy was predeceased by her sister, Irene Timbers and her brothers, Bob Timbers and his wife, Leatrice, Bruce Timbers and his wife, Joyce.
Predeceased by brothers/sisters-in-law Harold and Jean Doner, Gladys Schlichter, Fred Wilson, Elwood McCague, Walt Dyck, Don and Marian Doner. Remembered by surviving members of Lloyd’s family, brother-in-law Harrison Schlichter and sister-in-law Helen Dyck. Also remembered by many nieces and nephews.
Dorothy was born December 6, 1920 in Markham Township to parents Winfred Timbers and Mabel (Sider). Growing up years were spent in the Stouffville area where she assisted her parents in farming and market gardening. She married Lloyd on June 21, 1944 and moved to the Doner family farm in Gormley where she would spend the next 38 years of her life, raising children, becoming an integral part of the dairy operation, of the community and of the Unionville Christian & Missionary Alliance Church. She enjoyed baking, gardening, reading and swimming in the pond.
In 1982, Lloyd and Dorothy retired to the community of Gowanstown where they made many new friends. Ill health necessitated another move in 2004 when they returned to the Stouffville area and became part of the “Parkview Community.” The land that Parkview is built on was once owned by Dorothy’s father, so in essence, she really was returning to her roots! Dorothy moved into Parkview Home in 2011. Her final move was made into the presence of her Saviour where she is now being welcomed – “Well done, good and faithful servant...Enter into the joy of your Lord.”
