 Doreen came to Canada in 2012 to live with her daughter and Canadian family at the age of 82 years of age, what a woman.

Mum was a very active person and joined the bowling team in Taber and enjoyed playing cards at the Senior Centre with all her new friends.  Mum also wanted to thank the many, many friends she made while living in Taber especially at the bowling club, Seniors Centre, Signature Point and at the A&W.

 The family would like to thank Dr. Oviatt, Dr. Leishman and Gina, Dr. Smut and Carol for the care and compassion given to mum in her time of need.
