Muriel; Doreen (Cockerill) Toews

Muriel Doreen Toews (nee Cockerill), beloved wife to Edward Toews, passed away peacefully Wednesday May 24th, 2023, in Cardston, Alberta at the age of 88 years.

Besides the love of her life & life partner Ed, Doreen is survived by her daughters Catherine (Brian) Rarick & Brenda (Jim) Rathwell. Along with grandchildren Heidi (Howard) Rasmussen, Jessie Toews, Josh (Amanda) Toews, Carolina Huntsburger, Emerald Day Chief-Toews, Brianne Rarick & Dustin Rarick, plus eleven great grandchildren and eight great-great grandchildren.  Doreen is pre-deceased by her parents Herman & Isabelle Cockerill, siblings Bernice Arndt & Lawrence Cockerill and sons Gary Toews & Lyle Toews.

Doreen enjoyed taking care of her children, foster children, grandchildren and being a rancher’s wife. She always made sure everything was taken care of for everyone in her family.  Her house was always impeccably clean & everything had its place.  Doreen loved to sew & make beautiful quilts in her spare time.

Christianity was a huge part of Doreen & Ed’s lives, from attending Church to reading the BIBLE at home with family.

At Doreen’s request, there is no formal service planned. A private family graveside service will be held.
