Dorothy (Dee) Margaret Clarke

It is with deepest sympathy that we announce Dee’s passing in the early morning hours of Tuesday, May 20, 2025, at Hawthorne Senior’s Living in Cochrane.

Dee will be lovingly remembered by her sister, Marian Koosel; niece, Kathy (Chris) Weston Love of Cochrane; and nephew, Marty (Brenda) Weston of Canmore. Dee will be forever in the hearts of her son, Andrew Clarke; granddaughter, Amber and grandson Josh of U.K.; nephew, David (Sue) Weston of Halifax as well as her three other children. She was predeceased by her mother, Gwendolyn Spencer Haines and father, Alford Edgar Haines of England.

Dee spent most of her time in England where she enjoyed being a coach tour guide enjoying traveling Europe. Dee moved to Canada in 1999 becoming a Canadian Citizen in 2006 and enjoyed her time as a health care worker helping the seniors out in Canmore where she spent most of her time with friends and family. She also enjoyed always listening to music.

A big thank you goes out to the second-floor staff of the Hawthorne in Cochrane who took care of Dee with the utmost respect and love. They went above and beyond and would come in and see Dee on days off with their children. They loved her and she will be missed by many.

A Celebration of Life will be held at The Drake, 909 Railway Ave, Canmore, AB on Saturday, June 21, 2025, from 2:00 PM – 5:00 PM. Please join us in sharing some laughs and memories, a drink and light snacks. A private service will be held at Canmore Cemetery.
