SUN CITY WEST - Dorilla "Dottie" Page, born November 17, 1916 to Clovis and Suzanne Leger in Grandegue, N.B., Canada, passed to eternal life on July 25, 2012. She met and married Larry in 1937. Both had a love of music. Dottie loved to dance and sing. She worked as a seamstress for Dormer sportswear in 1953 for eight years. Larry retired and they moved to Florida in 1975, where they both resumed dancing and Dottie learned Hatha Yoga. They visited Arizona in 1979 and bought a house in Sun City West, moving there in 1984. She resumed dancing and yoga and actually began teaching yoga. Becoming legally blind at the age of 88 did not deter her, she taught until the age of 91. She was still dancing up to three months before her death. She was an inspiration to all who knew her. Dottie was a loving and caring wife and mother. She was preceded in death by her husband, Lorain "Larry" and son, Larry. She leaves behind her daughters, Sandra Ferreara of Sun City, Ariz. and Patricia Strain of Lake Havasu, Ariz.; seven grandchildren; five great-grandchildren; and seven great-great-grandchildren. A celebration of her life will be held 1 p.m., August 18, 2012, at Lakeview United Methodist Church, located at the N.E. corner of Thunderbird and 103rd Ave., Sun City, AZ. In lieu of flowers, please make memorial donations to Hospice of the Valley, 1510 E. Flower St., Phoenix, AZ 85014-5656.
