<div itemprop="description">BRUCE, DOROTHY MAE – Cole Harbour, passed away February 24th, 2017 in Bissett Court. Born in Halifax on December 26, 1923. She was blessed with many gifts not the least of which was her superior intellect. She excelled at school and after "skipping” two grades completed both high school and business college by the age of sixteen. Following raising her children in Winnipeg, Manitoba she had successful careers in both private and public sectors. Dorothy is predeceased by Robert “Bob” Bruce, her loving husband of 62 years and by her son Douglas Bruce. She is survived by her son Robert “Bob” Jr. and his wife Sandi Sparks; daughter-in- law Karen Bruce; grandsons, David and Graham Bruce. Dorothy was beautiful, dignified and elegant in her dress and manner. She loved literature, was a voracious reader and had the good fortune to travel widely. Tragically, in the last decade she lost her greatest gift in life when consumed by debilitating dementia. Her family are deeply appreciative of the compassion and support she received from the staff of Bissett Court. It was Dorothy's wish to have a private family remembrance. Should you wish, the family suggest a donation to the Alzheimer's Society of Canada. Online condolences may be sent by visiting www.coleharbourfuneral.com</div>
