My mother would like to send her belated condolenses to the family of Doris. She has been residing in a personal care home with her husband Gordon since late 2017 and only became aware of Doris's passing today. She has so many great memories of Doris at Rossmere golfing and curling. She was a dear friend. God Bless from Virginia's son, Jeff Davis - Posted by: Virginia Davis (Friend) on: Jun 23, 2018

My condolences to all of Doris's family. I share in your sadness as you grieve the loss of your mother and grandmother. I have so many fond memories of your family through all the "growing up" years in North Kildonan....Springfield Heights Elementary School , North Kildonan Community Club, and all the hockey years. We shared a common bond raising a family and supporting all the sport endeavors. Those were fun years. It was always a pleasure in later years when we would chance to meet and greet to catch up on the latest family news and remember the "old times." May all of your happy memories bring you comfort in the days and years ahead. Doris will be missed and remembered. In sympathy for your loss, Shirley Augustine. - Posted by: Shirley Augustine (one of the hockey mother friends) on: Nov 18, 2017
