After a short illness, George Dohie died in the morning August 1, 2024.
George was the son of Eli and Elizabeta Dohie. He was a child of the Great Depression, born at home on the family farm in the Shell Valley on September 8, 1932.
George was predeceased by his wife Adeline, son Jeffrey and brothers, Nicholas, Patrick and Neil.
He is survived by his sisters, Doris Burla, Lee Walker, Vera Davidson, Jean (Will) Ziprick and brothers, John (Lynn) and Glenn (Crystal).
George is also survived by daughter Judy (John), grandsons, Paul (Michael), lan (Maria), Robert (Jaime) and great-grandchildren, Henry, Margot, Louie, and Remi.
George worked 37 years as a travelling salesman for Burns Foods. Through the next 30 years of retirement, he enjoyed good health and active living almost to the end. He spent many years caring for his wife Adeline through her challenges with MS. Many friendships were made over the years and he always enjoyed a social visit or sharing a kind word with everyone. Through life's ups and downs, George celebrated family and friends. Most importantly, he remained a steadfast Bomber fan through every victory and especially after every single loss.
If desired, donations may be made to Siloam Mission or the Grace Hospital Foundation.

Dear Dohie family. George was a friend of my fathers, we really only connected after my father's death several years back. I would visit him from time to time, we would chat or go out to A&W. What a lovely man he was. I was always touched by his devotion to his late wife, how he lived his losses, how he kept his house, and the interesting conversations we would have. I was very sad to hear this news. I will miss him. I send my condolences. - Posted by: Donald Goodes (Friend) on: Aug 16, 2024

Precious memories ~ how they linger...and we have many fond ones to recall. We always looked forward to our visits with George and more recently our telephone chats, which will be truly missed. On one occasion he got me to link into a local radio station and we had a drink while enjoying the music together...over 2,000 km apart! That was George! To Judy, John, Paul, Ian, Robert & families our sincere condolences. Treasure the good times. May his soul rest in peace ~ Memory Eternal.

Dear Dohie Family, George was someone who has been part of the Shindleman family for 50 years plus. He used to be at our grocery store in Portage la Prairie on behalf of Burns twice a week, no matter what the weather was like. George was a good man who will be dearly missed. The Shindleman Family. - Posted by: Robert Shindleman (friend) on: Aug 03, 2024
