Davis, Dorothy Margaret (nee Ollmann),

Her Faith kept her going. She was very active in Sacred Heart Church in Princeton and Sacred Heart Church in Paris. Dorothy was a member of the CWL since she was 16 years old. She volunteered many hours at St. Francis School helping with prayers and music. She lived for music; it soothed her soul. She led and sang in many choirs throughout the years. She spent most of her married life on the farm and along with her husband Dennis raised 5 Children. They grew sweet corn and was known on the Toronto Wholesale Market as the “Corn Lady.” Mom looked after driving the big truck loaded with corn to the market.
