McNEIL, Dorothy, Mary (nee Beleskey)
Dorothy was born in Barrie, Ontario on February
13th, 1925 to Mary and Jack Beleskey, and passed
peacefully at home with her family by her side on
April 7th, 2022. Dorothy was the only girl amongst
four brothers (all deceased).
Dorothy met her husband-to-be James W. McNeil
(deceased Dec 9, 2009) when she was 16 years old and
Dad was stationed at Camp Borden. They communicated
by post for 4.5 years while James was overseas
(WW2). He was later wounded and sent to Montreal for
medical reasons and contacted Dorothy in Barrie,
where he went to convalesce and never left.
Dorothy and Jim were married in 1946 and had 7
children. They celebrated 63 years of marriage but
even after his death, she still counted the years.
Dorothy was a devoted mother to her children; the
late Jimmy, Linda Espey (Fred predeceased), Cathie
McNeil, Michael (Joan), Susan Fitzsimmons (Jamie),
Debbie Fletcher, and Stephen. She was a loving
Grandmother to 14 Grandchildren and 22 Great
Grandchildren.
Dorothy was ready to be reunited with her husband,
her parents, and her first-born Jimmy (deceased
July, 2008). God has taken another Angel home.
Private family arrangements have been entrusted to
the Steckley-Gooderham Funeral Home, 30 Worsley St.,
Barrie.
The family would like to take this opportunity to
extend their heartfelt gratitude to Bayshore Nursing
for the exceptionally compassionate care.
