Dorothy May Edge of Cochrane Alberta passed away Dec 26, 2022 at Scenic Acres Retirement Residence in Calgary. Dorothy grew up on the family farm in Grand Valley west of Cochrane and attended Chapleton/Horse Creek School on horseback, and later Westbrook School by bus.

Don & Dorothy contributed many volunteer hours in their community including the Cochrane Ag Society, Beaupre Community Assoc, and the Ghost River Pony Club. They loved kids and really enjoyed all of their nieces and nephews. The coffee was always on at their house and they hosted many large gatherings.
Dorothy was predeceased by her husband Don in 2007. She is survived by her older brother Dave (Betty), and younger sister Lillian, as well as very dear friend Jack Robertson. The family extends special thanks and acknowledgement to Diana Albery for her exceptional care and attention this past year and a half.
