Doris Patterson was born in Mossley, England on September 16, 1923 and died of Alzheimers in West Vancouver, B.C. on June 3, 2012. She and her husband Frank and their son Myron immigrated to Canada in 1956. She worked for Stanley Drugs for many years and after retirement started a second career as an actress. She appeared in a number of films and television commercials. Doris and Frank loved ballroom dancing and were regulars at the Grand Ballroom in Richmond until Alzheimers started to slow her down.
Doris is survived by her husband Frank, her son Myron and his wife Robin of Salt Lake City, USA, her grandson Brett of Salt Lake City, her sister Joan of Mossley, England and eight nieces and nephews in England.
She was preceded in death by her parents, three sisters, one brother and one niece.
The family wishes to thank Liliana, Nessa, Lilia, Maria, Tex, Wendy and Lesley for providing expert and loving nursing care, and everyone who has helped and supported Frank through this difficult time.
A memorial service will be held at St. Stephen’s Anglican Church, 885 22nd Street, West Vancouver on July 10 at 11:00am.
Do I want to be with you
As the years come and go?
Only forever
If you care to know.
Would I grant all your wishes
And be proud of the task
Only forever
If someone should ask.
How long would it take me
To be near if you bechon?
Off hand I would figure
Less than a second.
Do you think I'll remember
How you looked when you smile?
Only forever
That's puttin' it mild.
How long would it take me
To be near if you bechon?
Off hand I would figure
Less than a second.
Do you think I'll remember
How you looked when you smile?
Only forever
That's puttin' it mild.
