Posted Dec 30, 2024 | 2:02 PM
In loving memory of Dorothy Mae Cubbon (Roberts) born May 3, 1936 passed away on December 24, 2024 at Harwood Manor, North Battleford. Dorothy was the second child of Clarence “Irwin” and Anna Roberts and was born at the Notre Dame hospital in North Battleford. She became the oldest child when her brother Kenneth passed away in 1949. She grew up on
the farm and attended Eagle Hills School until 1949, when the family moved to Battleford. She attended Battleford Collegiate Institute where she took a secretarial course. She was short three
classes to receive her grade 12 diploma so in the late 1960’s she went back to school and obtained her grade 12. Dorothy began her secretarial career, working in the office at Notre Dame Hospital. Later, she was employed by Western Grocers until she married, and again beginning in 1966 when she reentered the workforce. Her final job, outside the home, was at CAA in North Battleford until she retired. She also worked on the farm – driving truck, going for parts and, of course, cooking and delivering the much needed meals to the field. Dorothy married John Cubbon on June 21,1957 and they were blessed with three children. In 1975, Dorothy and John began traveling to many foreign countries as well as through Canada and the United States. In 1996 they purchased a park model in Yuma, AZ and there she was very involved in many park activities, as well as playing many golf courses in the area. She loved to dance and was an integral part of organizing the dances at Araby Acres, and she was one of the founding members of street curling. At home in North Battleford, she and John loved participating in the Old Time Dance Club for 53 years with their many friends. She also was an avid curler, beginning in Battleford, and continuing at the North Battleford Granite Curling Club, skipping teams to wins for many years. Dorothy loved spending time with her grandchildren, watching them grow and flourish into adults. With a large yard, she was able to nurture her many flower beds, fruit trees, and large vegetable garden.
