MADELENE BERNICE DOERKSEN
(COLBURN)
January 10, 1937 - June 20, 2019
Madelene leaves behind her husband Len, daughter Janelle Peterson (Brent), grandchildren, Lauren and Joel, son Craig Doerksen (Cathy), grandchildren, Jennifer and James, and brother-in-law Barry McGhie. She is predeceased by her twin sister Marlene McGhie, brother Marvin Colburn and sister-in-law Pearl Colburn.
Madelene was a lifetime member of Calvary Temple where she sang in the choir for 20 years. Len and Madelene met in the choir in 1955. They married in 1959 and have celebrated 59 years of marriage.
Madelene worked for many years as the bookkeeper for their own business, Doerksen Medical Gas Systems, for 28 years. She also volunteered weekly for 13 years at the Health Sciences Centre gift shop as a cashier.
In their retirement years, they wintered in Mesa, Arizona. They participated in the music ministry of the church in their RV park and volunteered at Sunshine Acres, a children's orphanage, for the 13 years they were in Arizona.
They enjoyed spending time with their children and grandchildren at their church camp, "Manhattan Beach Retreat Centre" on Pelican Lake.
She will be dearly missed by her family.
"When I stand in glory, I will see His face,
and there I'll serve my King forever
in that Holy Place."
