I will always remember Doreen by her smile and her bumper sticker. "God as co-pilot" or something to that effect. She was a joy to visit with. Always a positive attitude. My condolences to her family.
Doe, I am going to miss you, girl. You fought so courageously to overcome your illness; but it all became more than you could manage. I know there is a special place in heaven for you. May our Lord Jesus keep you always in his sight. Until we meet again, dear friend, I will keep you in my heart .

My sincerest condolences to the whole family. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
So sorry to hear of Doreen’s passing. We met many years ago when we both worked at Zellers. Had many laughs and visits with her over the years. And would still run into her from time to time and she always proudly fill me in on her family and always asked after mine. R.IP Doreen and condolences to her family❤️
Dear Erica, We are so sorry to hear of the passing of your Grandma. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this very sad time. 💙 love, Krista , Dave and Olivia
Marilyn my condolences to you and your family 🙏
Marilyn, Barb and Laurie (and families), I'm so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. She loved you all dearly and her grandkids. Take comfort in knowing she has gone home to her Lord and Saviour. Love, Joanne
Marilyn, Laurie and family. We were very sorry to hear of your Moms passing. Don’t know if you remember us but we lived beside you in the semi on Elgin St for many years. I have run into your Mom many times since then, usually at No Frills and we would stand and chat for a long time. She was always eager to fill me in on what was happening in your lives. She was very proud of you both and her grandchildren. She will be missed.
Condolence to you and your family. I was thinking about Doreen. Will miss those conversations. Thank you Erica for letting me know of her passing.
So sorry to hear of Doreen's passing we met many many years ago in physio at the Old cobourg hospital. We had some wonderful conversations and many laughs and every time I had seen her after that she always remembered.
We had a decades-long friendship with Doreen. She was always interested in our kids and enjoyed seeing them grow up. And they enjoyed visiting with and being of assistance to her. She pledged to give new cars to several people here if she won the lottery - but her entertaining conversation and business advice were more valuable than new cars would have been. Our staff and family will miss her.
So sorry to hear about Doreen. She would come to my restaurant quite often and we would chat every time. She will be missed
I'm so sorry for your loss. Doreen was such a wonderful person, I met her when I worked at CDCI East. She was always so friendly. When I saw outside of the school she was always so wonderful to talk to. I'm gonna miss seeing her. My thoughts and prayers are with you all ❤️🙏
Sorry to hear of your Mom's passing Marilyn and family. May your memories bring you comfort.
Marilyn, I was saddened to hear of your mom's passing. She was usually so cheerful that one couldn't help smiling with her. Ella MacCulloch
My condolences and prayers are being sent to family and friends. I only knew Doreen for a short time. She always had a great story to tell and we usually ended up laughing until it hurt. I will miss our talks and will remember her fondly.
So sorry for your loss. Prayers sent to family and friends
So sorry for your loss. May your mom RIP
Marilyn and family, I am so sorry to hear of your Mother's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Cherish your memories💕 Sue
