Obituary of Dorcas Isobel Woermke

Woermke, Dorcas Isobel (nee Scheel) June 12, 1927-October 13, 2016 In her 90th year, Dorcas peacefully passed away with her loving family by her side, on October 13, 2016 at The Grove Nursing Home in Arnprior where she was a resident for the past 12 years. She was the loving wife of the late Irvin G. Woermke for 63 years and the cherished mother of Valerie Wereley (Richard), Arnprior, and Brent Woermke (Dorothy), Toronto. She dearly loved her 4 grandchildren, Matthew Wereley (Alison), Ottawa; Allison Rabideau (Jason), Vineland; Kristin Fisher (Thomas) Aylmer, ON; Andrea Woermke, Toronto and they, in turn, cherished their Grandma. Dorcas was also blessed with 4 great-grandchildren, James and Elizabeth Wereley and Isaac and Sawyer Rabideau, who brought her much joy. She was the daughter of the late Wesley and Martha (Rhode) Scheel, Arnprior, and is survived by her devoted sister, Lorraine Sly (late William Sly), Arnprior. Dorcas’ greatest pleasure was sharing time with family and friends, time that inevitably involved good food, community Bible Study in her home, music, much laughter, reminiscing, lessons from history, and sharing words of wisdom about life. She was a passionate letter-writer and card-sender to family, friends and missionaries, always delighting in sending words of encouragement to those who were on her heart.
