Born 1920 & raised in England, Mum studied & worked in a private residence before joining the Womens’ Land Army during WW2. Later she married then moved to Montreal where she raised six children.
Doreen leaves behind her children, Jeannette [Late John Barr] Sandra [Bob], Anne,
Marie [Late Henry Gabay], David [Debbie], June [Dave]. Our family in England. The precious Seven Grandchildren & Seven Great Grandchildren. Our Extended Family & Friends. By our Special Family friends, Doreen was considered their Second “Mum”.
Mum liked quotes, we found in her papers: The Best Things in Life are Free.
Indeed, Mum you gave us Life, Love, taught us to be kind & Forgiving. You will be greatly missed by all.
We wish to extend our Thanks to the Staff of the Jewish Eldercare Home for their care and patience these last four years. Special Mention to Lora, we Love you for how you were with Mum. You treated her as the person she was and allowed her to be independent whenever possible. The many times you curled her hair to make her look beautiful is nothing short of amazing. You went that extra mile with a smile!
