97, Truro. It is with great sadness we announce the passing of our beloved mother, sister, grandmother, great grandmother and great-great-grandmother, aunt and friend on Sunday, July 1, 2018 in the Mira Long Term Care Centre, Truro. Born in Moser River, Halifax, Co., she was the daughter of the late William and Lucy Anne (Naugler) Langille. The family moved to Riversdale, Colchester County when Dorothy was one year old. She grew up working on the farm doing what she loved best, working outdoors, and enjoying her love for nature. She was a devoted mother, putting her family first. She had a great love for music and enjoyed playing her fiddle along with other instruments. She leaves behind a “legacy” of five generations; son, Cecil, daughters, Sylvia, Fran (Keith Mingo), Betty, Audrey (Gordon Farrell), all of Truro; 11 grandchildren; 20 great-grandchildren; 6 great-great- grandchildren; sisters, Martha Annand and Mary Forsyth, both of Truro; many nieces and nephews.
