Condolences
To the Wright family, we express our deepest condolences and carry you in our hearts.
Our family had the joy of being neighbors to Dorothy and Alison for 7 years and friends for another 20.
We cherish our memories of Dorothy. We remember her great humor and ability to remember the smallest of details. She made everyone feel valued through her active listening. She wasn't just attentive, she would be excited and expressive, responding to every word! She made every person - child or adult, feel so special and important.
We have especially fond memories of Dorothy's welcoming heart to the new children that would come through our home. No matter how long they stayed with us, Dorothy would be excited to meet them and hear about every lost tooth. She looked out for all the neighborhood kids playing up and down the street and would call over as soon as she saw so much as a scuffed knee. We've often said there could be no better neighbor than Dorothy.
With so much love,
The Dorner Schleihaufs

Words can not express how saddened we are. Dorothy head of Wright security was the cornerstone of this neighbourhood and her presence is already greatly missed. Always there for a hug and a chat. She would keep an extra eye on the children and make sure everyone was safe. Dorothy will be so greatly missed. She was so very proud of Glenn and her grandchildren and she adored her great grandbabes. Thinking of you all in this trying time.

I and my family had the privilege to know Dorothy when I moved to Blenheim 6 years ago. She was such a daily part of my life, always sharing little chats, smiles, and some great laughs. Along with the weekly visits in the yards in the neighborhood between each neighbor, she always had to come see the kids when they were over or outside. Dorothy always had a warm hug and huge smiles for them, as she would always love to see "HER" kids as she called them lol. ❤️... our hearts are broken to hear of her passing and we all send our love and condolences to the family and friends of the sweetest little, firecracker we knew as our neighborhood grandma 😘

Our sincere condolences to the Wright family, we were fortunate enough to have known Dorothy as “Granny” and she had a huge impact on our lives whether it be a life lesson from her or just her cracking a joke like she always would. She will be very dearly missed by all of us.
