Obituary of Dorothy Louise Lovell

Dorothy Louise Elliot was born on September 29th, 1937 in Shellbrook to Ned & Ella Elliot. She was the youngest of 5 children. She had 3 brothers Kenneth, William (Bill), Gordon and one sister Georgina (Nini). Dorothy grew up on the family farm in Rosealee, Saskatchewan. She attended public school in the Shellbrook area. Dorothy was raised on a farm in the rural area but later moved into Shellbrook with her family, where she completed high school and met her husband Stuart Lovell while they were both working at the hospital. They married in Shellbrook on July 22nd, 1959. They had their two sons Scott & Cory while living in Shellbrook. Dorothy stayed home to raise her boys while Stu continued to work at the hospital. The family moved to Birch Hills in 1965 where they lived for about 1 year before moving on to La Ronge. Over the next 29 years, Dorothy worked at the Bank of Montreal, the La Ronge Medical Clinic, and for their good friends Al & Sharon Meyer's drug store in La Ronge. While living in La Ronge, Dorothy became an active member and president of the local Kinnettes Club raising money for community based projects and making friends with numerous other ladies. She became fond of cross country skiing and would often journey out several miles with her trusted beagle Missy. She loved the outdoors, including snowmobile trips, boating excursions and of course fishing in the many lakes in the area. They purchased a motel and built a fly-in fishing camp with their close friends Jim and Ann Hryniuk. Above all Dorothy was a professional home maker looking after her husband and two boys and of course Missy the beagle. Dorothy and Stu retired back to Shellbrook in 1995 where Stuart still resides. Dorothy lived life to the fullest and touched many people through her infectious, positive attitude in all that she did-in the nurture of her family, her involvement and leadership in community life, in her work, and her love of outdoor activities.
