Winston William Dopson
(February 27, 1914 – November 20, 2011)

Winston William Dopson passed away on November 20, 2011 in Regina, SK. at the great age of 97 years. Winston was born on Feb. 27, 1914 in Adanac, SK. to John and Alice Dopson.

Dad was predeceased by his loving wife Dorothy in 2003 and three siblings – a sister who died in infancy, a second sister Phyllis and brother Ken. The Dopson family moved from Adanac to the Eldred District in 1931 where they took up homesteads and began farming. Dad married Dorothy Emde in 1941 and they had two children, Darwin and Myrna. Dad continued farming until 1977 when he and Mom retired to Shellbrook.

Over the years they went on many bus tours and cruises and Dad was an avid curler and golfer until age 89. They were some of the founding members of the current Shellbrook Senior Center and Dad retired as the janitor of the center at 89 years of age. After Dorothy passed away, Dad had a mild heart attack, spent some years at Lois’ Care Home in Shellbrook and then moved to Regina. His last few years were spent at Two Spirit Care Home – a wonderful rural farm setting.

Left to remember this wonderful, caring father and grandfather are: son Darwin Dopson (Laura Sundberg); daughter Myrna Sentes (Jerry Sentes); grandchildren: Diane Boulton, Brianna Wyn, Pamela Sundberg, Aaron Sentes and Warren Sentes; and great Granddaughter Lexie Sentes.

Our sincerest thanks to Dr. Hettie Bouwer and the nurses on Unit 4A at the Pasqua Hospital for all their kindnesses and assistance. Interment will be held in Shellbrook, SK, sometime in 2012.
