I am sorry to hear of Mrs. Dolman’s passing. Her many years of teaching ( and later Principal) at Tugaske School influenced
countless youngsters of the area in a very positive manner. Her planned creative art classes, music sessions, physical education activities and field trips were all advanced educational practices. Also, so many of us have Mrs. Dolman to thank for our introduction to penmanship and the use of an actual ink pen!
Sincere condolences to her family and friends.
Respectfully,

To Jacki & Ed, Reg & Gail and your families,
So very sorry to read about your Mother’s passing. She lived a long, productive life and we are sure you have many happy memories which you will fondly reflect upon for years to come.
“Mrs. Dolman” was a teacher in Tugaske’s school for many years, my Grade Four teacher. I remember being a tag-along on some Dolman family excursions…a soggy camping holiday at Banff, an exciting first-time experience at Regina Exhibition or visiting their family at Craik or Regina…all pleasant childhood memories for me.
Eileen was a dependable volunteer in her community throughout her lifetime. Mom appreciated Eileen’s cheerful company over the years and we are grateful for that thoughtfulness she bestowed.
Sincere condolences to all.

Our deepest condolences Jackie & Ed, Reg and Gail, grandchildren and great grandchildren
I have fond memories of Eileen from the years we lived in Tugaske. She was always very busy in the church in the community and on the farm. Frank remembers her comments on his report card “ he sure is a chatter box”
All your wonderful memories will keep her close. Thinking of all of you.
Thinking of you all today. Such a capable, lovely lady. Good memories of times with her and Lois. Deepest sympathy.
