DAHMS
Dorothy Jean Dahms of Rimbey, Alberta passed away at the Rimbey Hospital and Care Centre ~ Area Three on Thursday, May 5, 2016, one day before her 88th birthday.
Dorothy was born in Rimbey, and was the first-born child of Ted and Hattie Pimm of the Gimlet District. She was united in marriage to Raymond Dahms, and together they raised their family and farmed in the Leedale area for many years. In 1969, Dorothy and Raymond sold the farm and relocated to Rimbey.

Dorothy served on the Leedale Hall Board, the Leedale Ladies Club, and was an active member of the Leedale Curling Club. Her house was always the hub of activity, and her coffee pot was always on. Dorothy's home was open to anyone who needed help, and she was well-known for her kindness and generosity.
Dorothy will be lovingly remembered and sadly missed by her sons, Calvin Dahms; and Allen (Laine) Dahms; and her daughter, Linda (Charlie) Gordon; as well as numerous grandchildren, great grandchildren, and great, great grandchildren; in addition to other family members and many dear friends.
