Dorothy Eva Bridges (Nee Turner)

August 4, 1924 - June 25, 2024

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our mother, grandmother and great grandmother on June 25th, 2024 at the age of 99.

Mom, the second of three children, was born in Toronto on August 4, 1924 to Austin and Doris Turner.  Mom met Dad (Jack) while he was on leave from the army in Borden and visiting his aunt and uncle in Toronto.  They were married March 31, 1945.  Mom and Dad arrived in Govan on January 1, 1946 stepping off the train as the New Year’s celebrations were underway.  Dad passed away November 20, 2000 and Mom continued to live in Govan until 2004 when she moved to Estevan to be closer to family.

Mom will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by her five children:  Donna (George) Ferguson of Vernon, Barry (Bonnie) Bridges of Estevan, Wendy (Greg) Suchan of Estevan, Kevin (May) Bridges of Brooks, Kenneth (Verna) Bridges of Winnipeg, 28 grandchildren, 22 great grandchildren, as well as, numerous nieces, nephews and a stepsister.

Mom had a life well lived and had finished all of her projects with the exception of one.  She was very involved in the planning of her 100th Birthday Party and was looking forward to celebrating the “Big Day” with family and friends on August 4, 2024.

A funeral service will be held in Govan Community Hall (school gymnasium) on August 5th, 2024 at 2:00 pm, reception to follow.  Inurnment at Govan Cemetery.
