"Do� was the much loved daughter of Floris Lavinia Johnson and Oliver Cox Pemberton and beloved and adored wife of the late Robert Gordon M. Parker, LLB. (D.1982). "WONKY" and "Do� were married on June 12, 1940. She was also predeceased by her sisters Peggy and Betty and brothers Monte and Stan. She is survived by adoring nieces and nephews, many friends of all ages, from all walks of life and her cat, Jodie. There will be a graveside service at Mount Pleasant Cemetery (between Mount Pleasant and Yonge St., near Yonge St.) on Saturday, January 20, 2007 at 11 AM followed by a Celebration of "Dodo's� remarkable life afterwards from 12:30-2:00 at THE GRANITE CLUB, 2350 Bayview Ave.(north of Lawrence Ave. west side), where she enjoyed years of curling and friendship with the Granite Dancers. We only wish we had a tin of her famous brandy snaps to share together one last time to celebrate this truly remarkable, gracious and generous lady. "Do� dedicated much time to charities. In lieu of flowers, donations to The Hospital for Sick Children or The Toronto Humane Society would be gratefully appreciated. We thankfully acknowledge the care provided by Mount Sinai Hospital, particularly Dr. Kyle Kirkham and nurse Julia of the 17th floor during "Do's� last three weeks and the many years of compassion, dedication and care provided by her physician, Dr. Sydney Nusinowitz.
