Doreen loved to cook and entertain family and friends. Her table was always filled with delicious meals. She loved to dance and enjoyed many Oktoberfests and Polka Fests. She was an incredible seamstress and spent endless hours sewing outfits for her children when they were young, and then later for her grandchildren as well. Above all, she treasured her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, attending their various activities whenever possible.
Doreen will be sadly missed by her family and will be lovingly remembered for her strength and the many beautiful memories she filled their hearts with.
**We want to extend a special thank you to the Craik Health Care Centre, to all the Staff for the amazing care they provided Doreen for the past 8 years. You are greatly appreciated!
