WEATHERHEAD Doris

MRS. DORIS MARY WEATHERHEAD, beloved wife of the late Kenneth Weatherhead passed away peacefully in Lethbridge on August 22, 2013 at the age of 93.
Doris is survived by her children, Steve (Barb) Weatherhead, Wendy Kast, Christina McLean, and Linda Malik; 11 grandchildren, 18 great-grandchildren and 1 great-great grandchild. She is also survived by her brother Alroy (Annabelle) Travis and sister-in-law Dorothy Weatherhead. Doris was predeceased by her parents, husband Kenneth in 1989, son Ross in 1990, son-in-law Merlyn Kast, brother Clarence Travis, sister Charlotte (Mabel) Galicano and numerous brothers and sisters-in-law. Doris was born on the family farm east of Granum on December 16, 1919 and was the eldest child of Charles and Gertrude Travis. She married Ken on April 16, 1945 and farmed in the Claresholm area. In 1954 they moved to Grassy Lake and operated Ken’s Esso Service and Koffee Kup as well as Weatherhead Bros. John Deere Dealership with Ken’s brother Clarence. In 1967, they returned to the farm in the Claresholm area until retiring to town in 1985. After losing Ken and Ross, Doris moved to Lethbridge in 1995 to be closer to "her girls".
Doris was very talented in many areas; oil painting, paper tole, Brazilian embroidery, crocheting, but she was happiest when she was cooking for family and friends. Family was her greatest joy and she was always glad to hear of their accomplishments, especially those of her great-grandchildren, and watching them grow up. Doris and Ken loved travelling Western Canada, Western and Eastern USA, the Caribbean, and Hawaii.
The family wishes to express their sincere gratitude to the staff at Cedar Creek Adapt-A-Care, family, and friends who have been so very kind and helpful in this trying time.
