Formby Says a Sad Farewell to Much Loved Local Lady Dorothy “Dot” Wilkinson

We are saddened to share the news of the passing of Dorothy Wilkinson, affectionately known to so many as Dot.

Dot was a much loved and familiar face in Formby and will be remembered by many local residents from her years working in the community. She worked at Safeway, Morrisons and later Waitrose, where she remained until her retirement.

Over the years, Dot became a familiar face to generations of Formby families, and her passing will be deeply felt by all those who knew and loved her.

Dot’s funeral service will take place at 12 noon on Friday 9th October 2026 at Thornton Crematorium.

Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with Dot’s family, friends and everyone who had the pleasure of knowing her at this very sad time.

Rest in peace, Dot.
