Doreen was a dear sister to Iva, Katie, Robert, Esther and the late Ruth, Wylie, Hilda and Richard.

Doreen had a big heart and enjoyed taking care of everyone. Teaching was a big part of her life and she enjoyed children of all ages. The Gaspé coast was dear to her, where she was born and raised her family. She gardened with a passion and always had something cooking for family and friends. In her later years you would find Doreen on the balcony enjoying her coffee watching the boats in the bay. She took in her daily Vitamin D in perfect view of Percé Rock and Bonaventure Island.

At the young age of 49, Doreen moved her family to Scarborough and was blessed with another 42 years. She embarked on a whole new life and career with her growing family and embraced many new friends. All who knew Doreen were welcomed with open heart and much generosity. We were all blessed to have her in our lives.

A special thanks to all the nurses and doctors at Centenary Hospital for their compassionate care.

There will be a burial service in St. Georges de MalBaie where she will be put to rest with her late husband. This will take place in the summer of 2022.
