Obituary of FREEMAN – Dorothy Louise

May 7, 1916 – September 12, 2010 Beloved Mother, Grandmother, Great Grandmother, and Friend. Dorothy Louise Freeman (nee Langley) was born and raised in Calgary. After graduating from East Calgary High School and Business College she worked for the Gas Company. Dorothy married Donald Burke Freeman in 1944. They had three children: Jim, Susan (Webster), and Stephen. Donald Freeman was the Wing Commander of 403 Squadron, and died when his plane crashed in Nov. 1953. Dorothy then dedicated herself to raising their three children. She received her strength from within, from her Church — St. Mark & St. Philips, her family and friends.
