1947 – 2026
With profound sadness, we announce the peaceful passing of Dorothy Mizak on August 18, 2026, at the Selkirk Hospital at the age of 79 years with her loving family by her side.
She will be deeply missed by her husband Dave and daughters Shelley (grandson O.J.), Angel (Lance) (grandchildren Robert and Nadine) and son Danny (Marie).
Dorothy was predeceased by her parents Albert and Olive Tencha along with her sister Betty Ann, brother Bill and grandson Robert.
Dorothy was the oldest of all her siblings Betty Ann (Lorne), Sharon (Dave), Shirley (Frenchie), Cindy, Joseph (Vicky), Bill (Collette), Albert (Janet), Patsie, Armand (Jeff), Randal, Cheryl (Bruce). She will always be in their hearts and never forgotten.
She will also be lovingly remembered by her brother and sister-in-law’s Gord (Jill), Peter (Valerie), Bob (Shiela), Linda (Ken), Cathy (Leroy), Rodney (Karen) and predeceased Margaret (Joe).
She was also dearly loved by her mother-in-law Frances and father-in-law Peter Mizak.
Dorothy enjoyed family and friend’s company and had a genuine gentle nature and was a pleasant person to be around. She always wore a smile and enjoyed life to the end. Dorothy loved animals as much as people and had a very caring nature to her.
Dorothy worked most of her life at Safeway in Winnipeg until she retired and moved out to Grand Marais where her and Dave spent most of their retirement years until recently moving to Selkirk.
Everywhere Dorothy went she made new friends and loved to laugh. She loved shopping with her daughter Angel and playing cards or bingo with her friends or just sitting out on her deck enjoying the weather. Dorothy and Dave also loved taking a drive to other towns for supper or lunch and visiting other family.
We will all miss her “I’m ok”, when we asked her how she was doing and we will miss her beautiful smile that would light up the room. She will also be missed by her little fur buddies Darcy and Dusty.
We would like to thank the Selkirk Regional Hospital for everything they did for Dorothy. We really appreciated it and we know Dorothy did too.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, September 12, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. at the Selkirk Friendship Center, 425 Eveline Street, Selkirk, MB.
