TATE, Dorothy Rose

Age 93, of Monastery, Antigonish Co., passed away on December 18, 2020 in Milford Haven Home for Special Care, Guysborough. Born in East Tracadie, she was a daughter of the late Francis and Rebecca Jane (Boudreau) Cotie. Dorothy worked as a telephone operator in Monastery in her early years. After they closed the office, she devoted her time to helping her husband Jack at the Parish Hall, being a good wife, mother and member of the church and community. She had a deep faith, was a dedicated member of St. Peter’s Parish and was a member of St. Peter’s CWL for over 50 years. She enjoyed her time as a member of the Happy Tracadonians Senoirs’ Club where she liked to embroider and chat with friends over a hot cup of tea and lunch. Dorothy loved to have her family around. She took great interest in all her grandchildren’s activities. She also loved reading, making charitable donations, visiting the sick and elderly, talking on the phone to family and friends for hours, a good joke, music and especially the Newfie Fever dances. Christmas, when family and friends dropped by, was always special to her. She looked forward to receiving and sending a long list of cards. For Dorothy’s day to start off right she had to have The Chronicle Herald, a tradition that continued even in the nursing home. She is survived by children, Dominic (Brenda) Tate, Monastery; Pauline (Paul) Spin, Monastery; grandchildren, Jessica (Cory), Crocker, Dillan (Ashley), Wade, Jacob, Jonathan and Jason; and granddaughter, Zoey "Sweetheart". She was predeceased by her husband, Jack Tate; brothers, Ernest, Alfred, Bill and Raymond; sisters, Gertrude and Rita. Visitation will be in C.L. Curry Funeral Home, 135 College St., Antigonish on Tuesday, December 22nd from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. Funeral Mass will be in St. Peter’s Church, Tracadie on Wednesday at 11 a.m. with Rev.
