Doreen was a wonderful cook who took great joy in preparing delicious meals for family and friends. Her home was often the heart of family gatherings, especially during the holidays, where tasty food and time together created many cherished memories. She also made sure the harvest crew was well fed, preparing and delivering countless home-cooked meals right to the field. She loved to bake and was well known for her angel food cake, apple pie, chocolate chip cookies as well as homemade dill pickles and potato salad. She took great pride in keeping her home spotless and welcoming. She was a lady who always looked her best, beautifully dressed, with her jewellery carefully matched and her lipstick just right. She also enjoyed catching up with friends over a Tim Hortons coffee, sharing stories, laughter, and good recipes! These are just some of the little things that made her so special and will be fondly remembered.
Doreen was kind, loyal, hardworking, and had a great sense of humour. She was always up for a good conversation and will be deeply missed and forever remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
Doreen will be laid to rest at the Bowville Cemetery. A memorial service will be held at a later date. Details will be announced once arrangements have been made.
