Doris was a treasured volunteer of the Dartmouth Boys & Girls Club Breakfast Program. Tuesday was pizza day and Doris served up that favourite breakfast to hundreds of Harbourview School for many years. Doris's contribution to a happy healthy start for school children is one of many contributions she made for the community of Dartmouth North. A life well lived. My sincere condolences to the family.

Whenever, I visited Doris over the years, there was a hot cup of tea to enjoy, while catching up on family news. Doris spoke fondly of her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, She was task -orientated and gave her time, without hesitation, to many outreach programs. Doris was a faithful member of Holy Trinity Church for many years. My Deepest Sympathy to Debbie, Bill, Stephen, Sylvia and their family. RIP, Doris and may peace with your family. My Sincere Sympathy, Sister-Law, Sandra Wournell
