It is with much love and sadness that we say goodbye to our dear Mum, Grandma and Great-Grandma who passed away on April 20th two weeks before her 94th birthday.  Dorothy was born on May 3rd, 1930 in Sedgewick, Alberta to Carl and Martha Christenson, the first of four children. 

In 1950, she married Ernie Dammann with whom she shared 65 wonderful years until his passing in 2015.

She is survived by daughter Terri (Allan) Kirkland, stepchildren Christine Simpson, Dale (JoAnn); daughter Sandra (Brian) Moore, Roger (Gladys), Scott (Linda), Vanessa (James) Gibeault; son Randy (Jan) Dammann, James (Sindujah), Leanne (Jeremy) Maitland; son Kim (Ginette) Dammann, Amanda Dammann (Andrew Litt), David (Charlynn), Justine (Harley) Matthews, Ashley (Kyle) Wandler; and daughter Karen (Alvin) LeBlanc, Max and Chrissy.  She is survived by 20 great-grandchildren. 

Dorothy is also survived by brothers Ron (Myrna) and John Lee (Darlene) Christenson.

Dorothy was predeceased by her husband Ernie, parents Carl and Martha Christenson, sister Olive O’Neil and granddaughter Jennifer Christine Dammann.

 A funeral service will be held at the Killam Knox United Church on Saturday, April 27th at 2:00 pm. 

If family or friends so desire, donations in memory of Dorothy may be made to the Killam Long Term Care, Killam Knox United Church, the Killam Cemetery Fund, or a charity of their choice. 

The family would like to thank the doctors and staff of the Killam General Hospital; and, also Dr. Timothy Hanton and Dr. Rami Abu-Zeidan and all of Mum’s caregivers in Killam Long Term Care for the loving, compassionate care over the past seven years.
