Ian, Diane & Denise,

We enjoyed the many good visits with you all at the little church in Water Valley.

Your mom & dad were such loving people. Our deepest sympathy to the family.

Love Norm & Wilma Hagel

Condolences to the family of Dolores Lockie. Dolores Bramall on behalf of the Holy Cross Alumni.

Denise & Family,

I am so sorry for your loss. I had the pleasure of meeting Dolores in her early eighties. I, really, enjoyed her good company. She greeted me a beautiful smile, and the question, “How are things?” She was genuinely interested, and I loved talking with her. Dolores was very appreciative. She was one to savour and compliment you on your home cooking, which was motivational to the cook. I know she will be deeply missed by all her friends and family.

My Sincerest Condolences,

Adrienne Woywitka

I met Dolores Lockie in the 1960's when I was in my early teens and she and Doug moved into our neighbourhood with their young family. It was always my great joy to know her and her family. I spent a lot of time with her over the years, time that I treasure and hold special - going to church together when I was a teen, me babysitting their young children, having chats together and when I was older going for “coffee” with my mother which meant a lot more chatting and spending time together. I always treasured my time with her and appreciated the wisdom, compassion and caring that was such a part of her in our many discussions. There were times when I was growing up that I loved Dolores as a kind of second Mom. She always seemed to be there with her cheerful voice and smile, and her wise, loving words. I moved away from Calgary in the 1980’s and Dolores is one of the people that I missed the most. I loved getting together with her on my return trips. Her sense of humour, vitality and ability to share her life with others made a deep impression on me throughout my life and I will miss her very much.

My deepest condolences to Denise, Devon and Ian and to their families for the wonderful loving mother, grandmother and mother-in-law they have lost. I know they all will carry her in their hearts forever. I know I certainly will.

Dolores was one of my mother’s dearest friends and my mom cherished the many coffee chats they often had at each other’s homes in Cambrian Heights. Dolores brought such warmth, wisdom and empathy to her friendships and I know my mom thought the world of her. She was a good listener, a caring and loyal friend and always someone my mom so enjoyed being with. I can still remember meeting the young couple (Doug and Dolores) that moved into our neighbourhood as such a welcome addition and then I was thrilled when I was asked to babysit for them. But I mostly got to know Dolores vicariously through the great admiration and respect my mom and dad had for her and Doug throughout the many years of their long friendship. You could always tell when you met up with Dolores how much she loved Doug and her family, how important they were to her and how proud she was of her family. She leaves behind a legacy of how to live with great courage, integrity, abundant love and caring for family and others and to always live your life with a good sense of humour. I know she will be remembered fondly and will be greatly missed by anyone who knew her. My deepest sympathies to Denise, Devon, Ian and your families on the loss of your wonderful mother (grandmother and mother-in-law). I know she is in heaven having a cup of coffee with her soul mate, her son, mother and sister and my parents and they are all having a good laugh together sharing one of their many good stories. My deepest condolences, Karen Gruman

Denise, Devon, Ian & Families, I am so deeply sorry for your loss.

Your mother (grandmother & mother-in-law) was a wonderful woman, and a dear family friend, who, in the early years, lived just two doors down from us. Our parents raised their children alongside each other and became lifetime friends. Dolores was extremely welcoming, caring and vivacious. She was very honest, genuine and straight up. I, truly, cherished my coffee visits with her, over the past 7 years. I loved talking with her about the good old days; our lives then and now, and our philosophies on various topics. Dolores had a great sense of humour. She was a master crossword player, and I was blown away by her incredible vocabulary. It was an honour to know Dolores & a gift to spend time together. I know she will be dearly missed by all her family and friends.

My Deepest Sympathies,

Brenda Doyle
