They then moved to Kelliher where her mother met and eventually married Robert Miller in 1924. When her mother and stepfather moved to Nipawin, Dora moved to Winnipeg for a short time before returning to Handsworth. Dora married Thomas Dickie on March 24, 1942. They farmed in the Creelman district and retired into Creelman in 1973. After Tom passed away in 1986, Dora remained in Creelman for a few years, then moved to Stoughton to be closer to her sister Ivy. In February 2011 at the age of 96 she moved to Tatagwa View Care Home in Weyburn until her passing on March 20, 2014. Dora enjoyed cooking, gardening, playing cards and sports but most of all she loved spending time with her family and many friends. Dora loved life.
