After a brief battle with cancer, Dorothy Hart passed away peacefully on Saturday, December 6, 2025, in her 91st year.
Predeceased by her son Clarence (1986), husband Murray (2015), partner Clarence (2024), and beloved fur baby Angel (2024). Dorothy is survived by her children Carolyn (Alfie), Calvin (Jill), Charles, Cathy (Mike), and Chris; ten grandchildren; eleven great-grandchildren; three siblings; and many nieces and nephews.
Dorothy was the first policewoman in the Niagara Region and received numerous honors, including the Order of Canada, Woman of the Year, and other awards for her police service. She devoted her life to helping others through fostering and volunteering with McNally House Hospice, West Lincoln Memorial Hospital, and the Grimsby Benevolent Fund.
Known for her angels and crafting, she supported her favorite charities and was fondly called “the angel lady”. Dorothy loved playing cards and bingo, enjoyed outings with friends, and treasured time with her dear friend Louanne and many cherished friends who brought joy to her life. She brought kindness and comfort wherever she went.
The family extends heartfelt thanks to the staff at McNally House Hospice, the second-floor team at The Jacob Senior Living, and a special thank-you to Amanda and Judy for their exceptional care.
At Dorothy’s request, cremation has taken place, and a Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to McNally House Hospice.
