Doris Elaine Schiller

May 4, 1931- January 20, 2012

A lifelong resident of the Comox Valley, Doris Schiller (nee Feely) passed away peacefully on Friday, January 20, 2012 following a lengthy struggle with Alzheimer’s in the Cumberland Lodge, B.C. She was predeceased by her husband, H.J “Duke” Schiller on August 28, 2000 and by her parents, Tom Feely Sr. and Alice Rose “Dolly” (nee Harwood), her brother, Tom Feely (Jean) of Royston, sisters Violet Hudson (Reg) of Union Bay and Gladys Phye (Bob) of Courtenay.

Born in Cumberland B.C, Doris had many happy stories of her early years and had a lifelong love of gardening, pottery, painting, rock hounding, knitting and an accomplished cook as there were always cake and cookies to be enjoyed!

Survived by sons, Blair Schiller and Glenn Schiller (Cindy) and several nieces and nephews. We would like to thank the doctors and wonderful staff at the Cumberland Lodge for their great care and compassion during her stay with them.

A gathering to celebrate Doris’ life will take place at a reception being held in Piercy’s Glacier Tea Room on Saturday, January 28, 2012 from 1:30pm to 3:30pm.

In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Alzheimer’s Society of British Columbia.

Arrangements under the direction of Piercy's-Mt. Washington Funeral Home, Courtenay, BC.
