    After working for over 40 years at Woolworth’s Department Store, Mom retired and enjoyed camping and travelling with Robert and family. She was a fantastic cook and baker and her Christmas specials will be greatly missed.

    Doreen was a dedicated wife, mother, grandmother, and granny to all who knew her. She also had a lot of love for her little four-legged friend Lola.

    Family would like to thank Dr. Leam and staff of the second floor of Good Samaritans West for their love and care for Mom.
