April 29, 1930 - June 26, 2021
Dorothy Eva Amy (Schultz) was born in 1930 to the late Stanley and Eva Schultz. She grew up on a farm near Woodstock and when not hard at work, shared many adventures and laughs with her siblings Harold (Grace), Betty (Lloyd), Bernice (Jim), Shirley (Ford), and Marie (Gord). She loved being an aunt to her many nieces and nephews, and cherished occasions she was able to socialize with them and their families.
Dorothy shared 58 years of marriage with her soulmate and late husband John Charles Amy (1924 - 2011), with whom she proudly raised their two sons, John Stephen (Rimona) and Peter Charles (Lynn).
Dorothy was an extremely loving 'Granny' to Kayla-Wray (Jamie) and Desmond (Ania), and most recently 'Great Granny' to baby Everett, who she had the pleasure of meeting in person for the first time days before her passing.
Dorothy had a dynamic, energetic, and kind personality, which served her well throughout her nursing career. She graduated from Woodstock General Hospital in 1952 and continued working there after graduation, gravitating to obstetrics. Her “others first” mentality helped her contribute over fifty years to the profession, including more than 27 years as a specialist and charge nurse in neonatal care at St. Mary’s Hospital in Montréal.
Dorothy touched many lives throughout the course of her life and will be greatly missed by her friends and family.
