Doreen is survived by: her partner, Mark Kuriata, her mother Mary Sopiwnyk, brother Johnny Sopiwnyk, sister Mary Anne (Jerald) Flett, nephew Jared Flett, niece Teresa (Chris) Sanders and the light of her eye, great-nephew Emerson Sanders, as well as many extended family and friends. Doreen was predeceased by: her grandparents, father Peter Sopiwnyk, and her beloved dog, Tiger. Doreen was born on August 3, 1954, in Caliento, MB. She was a generous, kind and determined woman who loved her friends and family deeply. When she turned 18, she moved to Winnipeg, where she resided until her passing.

She enjoyed traveling and went to at least 20 Grey Cup games in various cities. Doreen loved Las Vegas and looked forward to her yearly trips there with Mark. Although her life was not long enough for those she leaves behind, Doreen truly lived her life to the fullest.

She will be incredibly missed by her family and friends, but our hearts are filled with memories of her that we will carry with us always.
