DOBBS JONES, Elisabeth Maria "Liz" (nee RATKAI)
The Adventures in Medicine ended on February 28, 2019, from where Liz left for her final adventure over the rainbow on March 19, 2019.
Left to honour Liz’s life include beloved husband Michael Jones, son Matt Dobbs (Jaclyn), and ‘Mini Me’ Granddaughter, Ella Dobbs Geneau. Much loved blended and extended family gathered along the path of life include step children Krista Dobbs Jones (Mike), granddaughters Emily and Rylee; Ryan Dobbs (Niki), granddaughters Lauren, Grace and Isabelle; Brooke Belles (Mike), grandson Ayden, granddaughters Azlyn and Matilda. Step son Gabe Jones (Maddie) and step daughter Nathalie Jones (Paul).

Mike and Liz have spent 15 years doing what they enjoyed the most – being with each other, working on their hobbies and of course, cruising on their Harley!
Liz was well known for her wonderful inspirational spirit, thoughtfulness, kindness, caring and passion for making her community a better place. In 2015, Liz was awarded the prestigious Davies Award for Excellence in Philanthropy, recognizing the many gifts she has made in support of our hospitals. Liz retired from her position as Director of Major Gifts, University Hospitals Kingston Foundation (UHKF) in 2014, as part of the major gifts team.
