I remember growing up myself and Brian Barron would save here house for last when delivering the newspaper because she would always ask us to stay for a visit and give us a feed of whatever she had baked at the time. Then later on in life, I was her neighbor and she would call to say meet her at the fence because she had a fresh loaf of bread for me. She was an amazing lady and will be dearly missed.
Wayne, Don, Bob and families: We are so sorry to hear of your mom’s death. She was a great lady and no one in Whitbourne had a bad word to say about her. She had so many visitors in her kitchen and always had a smile and a lunch. When your dad died I think a large part of her died also. We are sorry we can’t be there but you will be in our thoughts and prayers as you mourn your great loss.
So sorry to hear of Mrs. Noseworthy’s passing. She was such a lovely lady. I have many happy memories of knowing her when I was growing up in Rocky River. My thoughts and prayers are with all her family. May she rest in peace – God bless!
Thinking of you all at your time of loss.
It’s been a few years now since I left Whitbourne to move to Ottawa, but I remember many happy hours Sonny and I spent visiting with Dot and George. She was a very special person and always made us feel so welcome.
Wayne, Anita, and family;
Sincere condolences on your great loss, and be assured that you are in our thoughts and prayers. My one visit with Mrs Noseworthy at her home is remembered as one where I was immediately accepted as though I were a regular visitor and treated to great conversation and fresh baked goods.
Our hope is that your many pleasant memories will dampen the pain of your loss as you go forward.
Wayne, Anita and the Noseworthy family, so very sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing. My deepest sympathy to you all. May your memories bring you comfort at this sad time. Sincerely, Geralyn
So sorry for your loss. We are thinking of you. I will always remember Aunt Dot cooking on her wood stove and taking care of Great Nan. She would always let me put wood in the stove, that was a highlight of my visit when I was young. Always making terrific meals when we visited and welcoming us in her home. Her beautiful smile grinning ear to ear, and her sparkling eyes. May she Rest In Peace.
Mrs. Noseworthy was a person who showed everyone love and kindness even in the most simple way. You knew she was interested in you and enjoyed your company in that moment! From my earliest memories of this woman, she was a lady in every sense of the word, and we all loved her. We remember her fondly and are thinking of you all at this time. Our sincere condolences to you all.
Wayne, Anita and family

Our thoughts are with the family of beloved Aunt Dot. May memories of your mother and the comfort from family and friends help you through your loss. She is finally at peace. Cherished memories of Aunt Dot and Uncle George will forever be in our hearts. Love, Gloria and Raymond Reynolds, Linda, Matthew and Ashley Clapperton.
Wayne, Anita and family:
I was sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Wayne, Bob, Don and Families, I feel your loss. So sorry we could not be there in person. Aunt Dot was my second mom. She taught me love, compassion, and strength. She also taught me to make bread and said I could not get married until I learned how. I will never forget her so she will never be gone.
Love you so much Aunt Dot. XXOO
One of the sweetest, kindest people I have ever met. She will be sadly missed but forever fondly remembered.
My condolences to all the family.
So sorry to hear of Dot’s passing. She was such a kind and thoughtful lady. I enjoyed quite a few meals with Dot and George when I stayed there while working as a student in Whitbourne. Dot and I always shared that special Hant’s Harbour connection. I will always remember her fondly. My apologies for not attending her funeral/visitation. Unfortunately i did not know as we were dealing with the devastating death of my nephew.
Dear Wayne and Anita,
So sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. May all the wonderful memories of your mother give you and your family strength in the days ahead. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
To the Noseworthy Family – Sending you sincere condolences on the recent passing of your mother. My mother, Shirley Parsons, shared a room with Dot at Karwood Retirement Retreat in Paradise; and they became good friends during that time. She was truly a lovely lady, and we had many great chats during our visits. I know you will have many happy memories of your mom that will keep her close to your hearts.
