Obituary

OBITUARY
Dorothy Myrtle Bott
July 12, 1941 – November 4, 2026

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of Dorothy Myrtle Bott, at the age of 85 years, from complications following a hip replacement.

Dorothy was born on July 12, 1941 in Fredericton, New Brunswick and passed away on November 4, 2026 in Red Deer, Alberta.

In 1957 Dorothy married Charles Brewster. They were blessed with 4 sons. Chuck, Steven, Scott and Peter.

After the death of Charles in 1966 due to a car accident, Dorothy found happiness with Dave Calhoun. In 1976 they moved to Red Deer, Alberta. Dorothy and Dave spent every spare moment they had in the West Country camping, fishing and 4x4ing. They met a lot of life-long friends while out on these trips. During these years Dorothy worked as a bookkeeper for several businesses. Dorothy lost Dave to a stroke in 1993.

Dorothy later married Eddie Bott on May 11, 1996. This year would have marked their 30th anniversary. Dorothy and Eddie spent many happy times out on the trapline, fishing, travelling, playing cards with neighbors, going to music festivals, family campouts, and just spending time together. Dorothy was an active member of the Benalto Baptist Church, Leslieville Antique Club, Leslieville Seniors Group, the Eckville Seniors Club and the Eckville Community Church. She was also the bookkeeper for most of these groups. Dorothy had a strong faith in the lord and never missed going to church. Her bible was always close at hand. Dorothy endured a vast amount of losses in her life but she always kept a smile on her face and was a true friend to many. She never complained and truly loved Eddie with all her heart. Dorothy enjoyed living at the Eckville Manor and had several close friends who became like family to her.

Dorothy was predeceased by Charles Brewster, Dave Calhoun and Eddie Bott and sons Scott and Charles Brewster and Stepsons Russell and Gene Bott.

Dorothy is survived by her sons Steven and Peter Brewster and step-daughters Carolyn Bott and Joanne Hollingsworth (Dan). One sister Joyce Randall and one step-sister, Donna Pattison. Dorothy also leaves behind 13 grandchildren and 15 great grandchildren as well as special nieces, nephews and friends.
