Predeceased by her beloved husband Alexander. Survived by her loving daughter Deborah Westacott (Paul), her granddaughters Laura (Chris) and Elizabeth (Steve) and great granddaughter Isabella.
Doreen was born on August 10th, 1925 in Winnipeg, Manitoba. She lived a life full of warmth, kindness, and adventure. Known for her exceptional baking, her chocolate chip cookies and “Nanas chicken” became family legends. Her love of flowers and gardening blossomed into a lifelong passion, earning her the title of Honorary Lifetime Board Member of the Galt Horticultural Society, where she was fondly referred to as the “gracious tea lady”.
Doreen’s love for celebrations knew no bounds-be it birthdays, Christmas, Thanksgiving, or even Halloween, when she would delight everyone with spider and gummy worm decorations. Her attention to detail, from beautifully set tables to the perfect card sent for every occasion, reflected her deep care for her family and friends.
Her adventurous spirit shone brightly. At 85, she took her first helicopter ride; at age 87, she marveled at the Great Barrier Reef from a submarine; and at 98, she savoured her last boat ride at the family cabin.
Doreen’s incredible capacity for love and kindness left an indelible mark on all who knew her. She had a rare gift for making everyone feel special, and her infectious spirit drew people to her effortlessly.
She will be remembered for her grace, humour, and endless love. Though she is no longer with us, her memory and legacy will remain forever in the hearts of those who knew her.
Special thanks for the wonderful medical and nursing care at the Cambridge Memorial Hospital Intensive Care Unit.
