Doris and Dennis lived in Quebec for 13 years before moving to Ontario. Doris was a quiet, reserved woman, but involved in Women’s Ministries in the churches they pastored in Willowdale, Owen Sound and New Dundee. After they retired in Kitchener, she was a faithful visitor to seniors at Winston Park Retirement Home. She was a devoted, behind-the-scenes prayer warrior.
