Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryDOROTHY (DORIS) WOODWARD
Doris was born April 5, 1926, and lived until February 1, 2024.
She was predeceased by her parents Fredrick and Maud Weitman, her husband Frank Woodward, of 25 years, three sisters, Ivy Weitman, Eileen Gibson, Elsie Hicks, and her brother Fred Weitman. She is survived by her daughter Maureen Woodward, her son Fraser (Susan) Woodward, grandchildren Wesley (Michelle) Woodward and Victoria (Ryan) Gibbon, great-grandchildren Sierra and Elliana Woodward. Many nieces and nephews especially her niece Marlene Longman of BC.
Doris was a strong, feisty, independent women who lived a long active life right to the end. She was a life member and elder of Westworth United Church since 1955, active in CGIT, volunteered for The Christmas Cheer Board (27 years), 25-year member of Khartum Ladies Auxiliary, and supported Khartum Shrine over the last 47 years, and was one of the top sellers of Shrine Christmas Cakes in 2022. She loved to have fun, dressed up for every occasion and always looking for any reason to have a party. She enjoyed the arts, supporter of MTC, PTE, WSO pop concerts, fringe festival and avid Jets fan.
She enjoyed summers at Rushing River, Morden’s Meadows, and in 1981 she bought her cottage at Malachi next to Doreen and Fred Stephenson and spent 30 years of happy hours with neighbors and friends on the lake.
We would like to thank the staff of the palliative care system and the healthcare staff at the Palliative care unit at Riverview Health Centre for their kindness and respectful professional care, especially Brenda and Jade.
The family will gather for a graveside service later in the year.
In lieu of flowers donations can be made to Khartum Ladies Auxiliary or a charity of your choice.

I was saddened to hear of Doris’ death. My Mom (Irene Reith) and I met Doris when they both lived at the Wellington. Mom enjoyed meeting new people when she moved there, and one of the most welcoming was Doris; Mom thoroughly enjoyed getting to know her. They were both sharp as tacks and had many things in common. As Mom became more frail, she moved from the third floor to the main floor — right next door to Doris… true serendipity! Doris was incredibly kind to Mom; her generosity and kind-heartedness, not to mention her spunk and joie de vivre touched and inspired us both. She was an amazing woman. I know she will missed deeply by all who knew her, especially her family. Please accept my sincere condolences. - Posted by: Linda Johnson (Acquaintance ) on: Aug 14, 2024

I believe Doris is the last of her generation on the Bemi family line. Her Mother was my great Auntie Maud, sister to my Grandma Edith. I recall lots of laughter when your family visited ours in Vancouver, around 1970. So very blessed to have reconnected with her through her daughter, Maureen, so many years later. In reading the words of her life, Doris sounds like she lived life positively and savoured good times, a life well lived. Well done. Sending you peace, Maureen and Fraser, as you navigate through this tough time. My heart is with you.❤️ - Posted by: Valerie Archer (Daughter of Doris first cousin, Roy Archer) on: Feb 19, 2024
