Dolly was always involved in the community and schools, covering Brownies, Cubs, play-days, recitals, softball, hockey, haunted houses, camp, and also found time to act as Treasurer for the Midtown Community Club for many years. Dolly's life was full of adventures, as she loved to travel and entertain.

Upon retirement, Dolly and Les sold everything but their truck and 5th wheel trailer and planned on spending a year of travel.

In 1920 the family moved to Yorkton, Sask., where they farmed what is now the SW portion of that city. Starting in the 1920's the farm diversified into a commercial dairy known as City Dairy, which Cec owned and managed from 1950 to 1969. Cec took great pride in the accomplishments of "the dairy": one of Saskatchewan's first pasteurizing facilities, Saskatchewan's first bulk-milk tanker, award winning cheeses, his long-time loyal employees and their families, the exceptional quality of the dairy's milk shippers and the dairy's growth to serving the largest part of East Central Sask. and NW Manitoba prior to the dairy's 1969 merger with Dairy Producers Co-op.

A life-long curler and golfer well into his eighties, Cec had held memberships in the Legion, Yorkton Duplicate Bridge Club, several golf and curling clubs, Knights of Pythias and the Rotary Service Club at Yorkton and Regina. Cec strove to live a long, healthy and active life. He succeeded grandly. Cec took particular pride in the progress of the City of his birth and his family's participation in its development, starting with his father's arrival at the turn of the century constructing grain elevators, his planting the now towering trees at Patrick Park, donating milk at Yorkton's Hobo Jungle during the Great Depression and donating lands for church construction on West Broadway St. Cec passed peacefully into the hands of God with family at his side. "I asked him to touch God for all of us. I am sure he will."
Survived by his wife of 55 years, Eleanor Elizabeth (Evans) Peet and their children, Barbara (John) Rowe, Diane (Wayne) Rusnak and Russ (Vicki) Peet, 7 grandchildren and one great-grandchild, his brother, Clifford (Rosemary) Peet and sisters, Rena (Mac) Ferguson and Vera (Elmer) Dauncey.
