Anne was one of my dearest work friends, she was there when I started and there for a few years after I retired. We shared many stories with no topics barred ! We both loved food and had many cups of tea together. Anne always had a heavy caseload of clients and treated everyone of them with respect, kindness, empathy, and reality. My calculations are that she would have helped several thousands of unemployed persons reach their goals with good advice, retraining both in school and on the job, perhaps assisting them to relocate to where the jobs were, interviewing skills, appropriate dress, etc. She made the HRDC programs work for her clients.
Anne always seemed to be in good cheer, with a smile for everyone, brightenning the workplace, and impacting my life and countless others.
Condolences to Adam, Sara, her grandchildren, and her other close friends.

To the Family; my sincerest condolences on hearing of Anne’s passing. I worked with Anne when we were both Employment Counsellor and then Program Officers; Anne in New Glasgow and I in Truro. She was a great co-worker and hard worker on behalf of her clients. Most of all she was very proud of her (adult) Children and Grandchildren. Rest In Peace my friend.

My condolences to the Dorrington family. Anne was a lovely lady. I shared experiences with Anne through our work as employment counsellors and program officers with HRDC/ Service Canada. We were on training courses and conferences together and often worked on files together. Anne was always helpful and very dedicated with her work. It was a pleasure knowing her and doing things together. May she Rest In Peace!

Sara, Adam and their families: Condolences on the passing of your Mom. We met as young girls while living in Westville and many years later were co-workers at Service Canada (HRSDC). Anne was a kind, helpful person who always put her clients' needs first. I will remember her outgoing personality, adventurous ways and her sense of humor.

Anne Dorrington was so much more than a senior who loved family, cats and chatting with friends. She had a very successful career as an Employment Counselor and Program Officer with Human Resources and Skills Development Canada. She helped change people's lives, build support agencies for the community, and assist in increasing the level of employment opportunities in her community. She was respected by her coworkers for her patience, good humour and dedication to her work. It was a pleasure to know her and work on northern zone and regional programs with her.

I am so sorry to hear of Anne's passing. We worked together for 20+ years before I moved to Halifax. Anne was both well liked and well respected by her co-workers and her clients/employers. She was simply a wonderful person and will be sorely missed. The world needs more 'Anne Dorringtons' and it would be a better place. My condolences to all of her family.

Sara, Adam and family. Our deepest sympathy on Anne’s passing. Anne always had time for a chat whenever we met in last number of years and caught up on the “where and what’s” of our families. In recent years I would see Anne at the coffee shops in NG and would always go over and say hello. Anne was a very sweet and kind lady. She will be missed. May she RIP!
