Johnson, Doreen Clara Christie ('Dean' to her oldest, longest friends) passed away suddenly on September 22nd, 2024 in Vancouver, British Columbia after battling Alzheimer's and dementia for years. Mom is in a better place now, joining Dad (David) who passed away in 1987.
She is survived by her children, Neil, Ian and Susan; grandchildren, Aron, Brett, Cole and Cara and great-grandchildren, Emma, Melvin, Damian and Valentina.
Mom, although born in Calgary, Alberta, always considered Vancouver home. She attended York House and UBC, where she graduated with a Bachelor's of Education. She was a strong-willed woman who always had a sense of fairness.
Doreen was always busy in the community. From supporting her children with a local stamp group, scouting, DeMolay and mostly her Church. St. Helen's was the center of her attention for so many years. Plant sales, seniors group and coffee-making were all done her way or not at all.
Service will be held at St. Helen's Anglican Church, 4405 West 8th Avenue at Trimble Street in Vancouver, British Columbia on Saturday, November 9th at 1:30 pm. Interment to follow in the Memorial Garden.
In lieu of flowers, we request that a donation be made to the Alzheimer's Society of BC in Doreen's name.
