DeVries, Dorothy October 27, 2025

Dorothy (Dirgje) DeVries (née Branderhorst)
October 10, 1930 - October 27, 2025

Suddenly, but in His timing, the Lord called home Dorothy DeVries, aged 95, of Charlottetown, PEI on October 27, 2025. She is now fully satisfied in Christ and face to face with her Saviour. She was born on October 10, 1930 in Diesen, North Brabant in the Netherlands, the daughter of Gerrit and Anneke Branderhorst (née Garstman).

Dorothy was a woman of true tenacity and strength. She immigrated with her 11 siblings to the United States and then Canada as a young woman, married the love of her life Ekke DeVries in 1959 and then had 7 children in 8 years, a fact she would often lead with in introductory conversations.
She lost her husband when he was only 39, and faced an uncertain future with what she always carried with her, her faith in the Lord and dogged hard work. That tenacity was with her to the end, even when she broke her hip in her nineties and re-learned how to walk.

Dorothy spent most of her life widowed, but that did not stop her from providing for her family, traveling, writing frequent letters and calling family & friends to keep in touch. Her greatest treasure on this earth was her family; 97 people made up of children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren including two on the way.
Dorothy saw the humour in life and was quick to laugh. She had bright blue eyes that shined, especially when telling her favourite stories. She was a thrifty saver, often blunt in words, but generous in actions of love. One of her favourite ways to care for others was in feeding people, and she deeply enjoyed her years of volunteering in LTC.

As she aged, and much of what she loved to do faded away, she continued to walk with the Lord and spend time in His word.

She leaves behind her loving children Fenno (Dianne) DeVries, Gerrie DeVries, Margaret (Doug) Thomson, Anita (Gordon) MacQuarrie, Wilma (Scott) MacLeod, John (Kelly) DeVries, and Elizabeth (Kent) MacDonald. She was the much loved Oma of Matthew and Angela DeVries (Aubrey), Travis and Jana DeVries (Maeryn, Brinn, Evan), Nichole and Josh Maclean (Nathan, Lauren, Kate), Laura and Jared Fraser (McKinley, Hudson, Lachlan, Bennet, Josh DeVries, Tyler and Erienne DeVries (Ikke), Stacey DeVries, Justin DeVries, Sarah and Kevin Van Hartingsveldt (Jakob, Aiden, Asher), Rebecca and Mojtaba Zamani (Ali, Zara), Anne Jan (Lucas, Levi, Adeline), Miriam and Ben Taylor (Everett), Esther and Dave Witteveen (Evelyna), Robert and Samantha Thomson (Laura, William), Eric and Brooke Thomson (Maeveleigh), Lasha MacQuarrie, Jenny MacQuarrie and Austin Henczel, Paul and Lauren MacQuarrie, John and Raquel MacQuarrie (Maren), Leah and James Ens, Rachel and Tim Burton (Albert, Sadie), Kara and Micheal Leger (Wesley, Wren), Jesse DeVries, Mackenzie DeVries, Renee DeVries, Jeffrey and Emma MacDonald (Charley, Joanna, Elias), Bethany MacDonald and Josh Laver, and Stephanie MacDonald.

Dorothy was predeceased by her husband, Ekke DeVries (1972); daughter-in-law, Brenda DeVries (2017); brother-in-law, John DeVries; and most of her large family that she loved, but is survived by her sister Ann Koning, her sisters-in-law Peta Branderhorst, Truis Rozema and Ina DeVries; and her brother-in-law, Lawrence Kodde, as well as many nieces and nephews that she loved and enjoyed.

Resting at Central Queen's Funeral Home, New Glasgow for service from the Funeral Home Chapel, on Thursday, October 30, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. There will be a visitation prior to the service beginning at 12:30 p.m. Interment in Floral Hills Memorial Gardens, Pleasant Valley.

Cole, Dorothy "Gail" September 15, 2025

It is with profound sadness and deep love that we announce the passing of Dorothy Gail Cole of North Rustico, PEI, on Monday, September 15, 2025.

Born in Charlottetown on July 20, 1950, Gail was the cherished daughter of the late Jerry and Jean (Gallant) Peters. Though named Dorothy, she was affectionately known as Gail.

Gail was predeceased by her beloved husband, Orville Cole; her brothers Arliss, Winston (and sister-in-law Valerie), Carl, Norman; and her infant sister Eleanor.

She is lovingly remembered by her children: Shannon Cole, Kevin Cole (Nona), Jody Cole (Greg), Krista Cole, and Angela Cole. Her grandchildren—Tristen, Alycia, and Kohl Buell; Michael and Christian Murphy; Kalista and Jodi Ann Desouza; Madison Cole; and Madison Van De Kraats—were the lights of her life.

Gail is also survived by her siblings: Keith (Marie), Brendon (Lynn), Ken (Sharon), Rene (Carol), and Dolores MacPherson; her sisters-in-law Ruth (Carl) and Marie (Norman); and many nieces and nephews who will carry her memory forward.
She is further remembered by extended family and lifelong friends whose love, laughter, and support enriched her journey.

Gail’s love for her family was the cornerstone of her life. She nurtured deep, lasting friendships and was known for her warm smile, generous heart, and the way she made everyone feel welcome. Her compassion extended to animals, and she found joy and comfort in their companionship throughout her life.

A funeral service will take place at Stella Maris Parish, North Rustico, on Saturday, September 20, 2025, at 10:00 A.M. Following the service, a Celebration of Life will be held at the North Rustico Lions Club, where family and friends will gather not only to share stories and laughter, but to honor Gail’s lifelong love of music with a heartfelt jam session. Her passion for melody and harmony touched everyone around her, and it’s only fitting that her send-off be filled with the sounds she cherished most.

If so desired, memorial donations made to the Stella Maris Parish or North Rustico Lions Club would be appreciated. Online condolences may be sent at www.peifuneralcoops.com, or by sending an email to cqfuneral@gmail.com

Gail lived by the simple yet profound motto:
“Live and let live.”

Her strong spirit, gentle heart, and unwavering kindness made space for everyone to be themselves. She faced life’s challenges with quiet courage and inspired those around her to do the same.

As the Bellamy Brothers sang—lyrics that Gail held close to her heart:
*“Just let your love flow like a mountain stream,
And let your love grow with the smallest of dreams,
And let your love show and you'll know what I mean, it's the season.
Let your love fly like a bird on a wing,
And let your love bind you to all living things,
And let your love shine and you'll know what I mean, that's the reason.

The funeral for Gail Cole was held on Saturday, September 20, 2025, at Stella Maris Roman Catholic Church, North Rustico.
