May 13, 1950 – February 18, 2025
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Dorothea Mary Keats (nee Putt), age 74 years of Geraldton, peacefully with family by her side in Geraldton District Hospital on Tuesday, February 18, 2025.
Dorothea was born in Toronto on May 13, 1950 to Gordon and Ethel (nee Steele) Putt. She worked for many years in Geraldton as an audio visual technician and later transitioned into IT with the Superior-Greenstone District School Board. In her spare time she loved flying, reading, being outdoors kayaking and canoeing and enjoying time spent with her family, friends and pets.
Dorothea will be deeply missed by her spouse, Chris Walterson; children: son, Chris Keats of London, Ontario and daughter Michelle Hutchinson and her husband Andrew Hutchinson of Geraldton Ontario; as well as her brother-in-law James Gardiner of Huntsville, Ontario. Numerous nieces, nephews, in-laws and extended family also survive.
She was predeceased by her parents; Gordon & Ethel Putt; brother Warren Putt and sister Helen Gardiner.
In keeping with Dorothea's wishes, cremation has taken place and there will be no service. Should friends so desire, donations made in her memory to Geraldton District Hospital (Direct Link - https://www.canadahelps.org/en/dn/26828) would be greatly appreciated.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Everest of Thunder Bay – Westfort Chapel, 420 Gore Street West, Thunder Bay.
