"WESTNEY, Dorothy Evelyn Joblin - July 15, 1913 - September 28, 2011 Died at her home on September 28, 2011 at the age of 98. Fourth child of Frederick Joblin and Flora Elgie Joblin. Predeceased by her husband of 52 years Henry Westney and her sister Gladys Joblin and brothers Elgie Kingsley and Fred. Leaves two daughters Eleanor and Jean; grandson Glen Alan Miller and his wife Hajin Kim and granddaughter Sarah Jean Elliott and her husband Jeffrey Elliott; and great-grandchildren Jackson James Elliott and Sierra Jane Elliott. Dorothy was born in Toronto in the home of her maternal grandparents and grew up in Bayside and Stirling, where her father was a Methodist minister. After attending Normal School, she taught for four years at Frankford Rural School, a one-room schoolhouse with grades 1 through 10. She then attended Victoria College at the University of Toronto, graduating with a B.A. in 1939. She took great pride in the fact that she, all four of her siblings and her two daughters all graduated from Vic. She taught public school in Pickering and Oshawa until 1942, when she married Henry Westney, a farmer in Pickering. She returned to teaching when her daughters started school and beginning in 1952, taught the first kindergarten and then the first junior kindergarten at Lord Elgin Public School in Ajax. She was a much-loved teacher, retiring in 1973. Dorothy was always active in community service. In 1951 she was the founding president of the Ajax-Pickering Women's Hospital Auxiliary, raising funds to build and then support the local hospital. She was continuously active in the Pickering Village United Church, teaching Sunday School and serving as one of its two first women elders. After retiring from teaching she founded a chapter of Amnesty International in the Durham region, which grew to be one of Canada's largest, with over 200 members. For these and numerous other service activities, she received the Ajax Civic Award in 1988. Even after her stroke on December 2, 2009, which ended over 80 years of accident-free driving, she continued to enjoy life at the home she shared with her daughter Eleanor, thanks to excellent care from her two daughters Melanie Milton, Julia Bartley and the personal service workers from ParaMed and St. Elizabeth's. A memorial service will be held to celebrate her life at the Pickering Village United Church (300 Church Street N., Ajax) on Saturday, October 15 at 11 a.m. Visitation 1 hour prior to service. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Pickering Village United Church or Amnesty International Group 90 would be much appreciated."2Newspaper Obituary, Oshawa This Week 6 Oct 2011.
We were sad to hear of the passing of Dorothy Westney, a great lady of Ajax if the town ever had one, at age 98. But while we mark her passing with heavy hearts, we're also grateful to her for the many contributions she made to the growth and vitality of Ajax. Her sense of civic duty and responsibility are examples to us all. A recipient of the second Ajax Civic Award in 1988, she also received the Rouge Valley Health System Foundation's Patrons Council Award. Of the latter, Mrs. Westney in the fall of 1951 chaired the first-ever meeting of the hospital auxiliary, although the actual building would not open for three more years. Born Dorothy Joblin in Toronto a year before the start of the First World War, Mrs. Westney grew up in the country north of Belleville and taught at Frankford Rural School. She graduated with a B.A. from the University of Toronto's Victoria College and taught in Pickering and Oshawa until 1942, when she married Pickering farmer Henry Westney. Teaching took a back seat while she raised her daughters, but Mrs. Westney returned to the profession and starting in 1952, taught the first kindergarten and then the first junior kindergarten class at Ajax's Lord Elgin Public School. Countless Ajax residents, and many that have left the town for other places, remember Mrs. Westney as their teacher. She retired from teaching in 1973, but retirement wasn't a quiet time. In addition to supporting the local hospital through the auxiliary, she was always busy at Pickering Village United Church, where she taught Sunday School and served as one of its two first women elders. Mrs. Westney also founded an Amnesty International chapter in the Durham area and it became one of Canada's largest, with more than 200 members. When we spoke with her about it in 2002, on the 25th anniversary of Amnesty International Group 90 Ajax and Pickering, Mrs. Westney told us that a Man Alive news program about political prisoners being cruelly punished in foreign countries so moved her she had to do something about it. After her passing, we remembered her words about the importance of young people getting involved in the group as the existing members get older. "We're not going to be around forever, so there must be young people to take it up," she said. It's a challenge we put out there, in Mrs. Westney's memory, to young people and to Ajacians in general. Mrs. Westney's life reminds us that, even though the world changed so much during her lifetime, good people willing to give of themselves to help others, here in Ajax and around the world, are just as needed."
