She graduated in 1939, and then trained at Grace Hospital in Winnipeg, receiving her Registered Nursing diploma in 1945. Dorothy met her first husband, Robert Steel in 1947, and raised four sons in various towns all over southern Manitoba. Dorothy and Bob moved to Drumheller in 1962, where Dorothy continued full time nursing before moving to the Drumheller Public Health Unit for the last 17 years of her career, retiring in 1983. Dorothy was lured back to her home of Emerson Mb. in 1989, and re-married her childhood and lifelong friend, Lorne Johnston, where they have since resided.

Dorothy was a chartered member of the Eastern Star since 1951 and a member of the United Church since 1939. Dorothy was a dedicated, caring, giving, sincere person, and people always seemed to remember her. She was a loving mother, and a doting Grandmother. She loved music and playing the piano, but mostly, she loved people. She was one of those few people who truly make the world a better place. She will be missed and remembered.
