Matercare international's lifesaver program In Memory Of:

Dorothy Ernewein (1921 - 1994) was born Dorothy Zettler in Walkerton ON in 1921. A member of a family of very devout Catholics, she was a life-long member of the Catholic Women's League of Mary Immaculate Council, Chepstow, ON. Dorothy married Alex Ernewein in 1942. She was a farmer's wife and gave birth to 14 children over twenty-five years in spite of a death-defying bout with rheumatic fever which left her with a weakened heart as a teenager. She died in 1994 of congenital heart failure. Her grandchildren now number thirty-six and there are also twenty-three great grandchildren with one more on the way. She is sorely missed for her kind, accepting nature and her faith in God and His goodness.

A strong believer in the sanctity of life, she would be most proud to have her name linked to a charitable organization dedicated to safe child birth.
