Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryDORIS WHYTE (nee FLYE) Our beloved Gramma , Doris Whyte, passed away peacefully, in her 99th year, on December 2, 2006, at Peace Portal Lodge in White Rock, BC. Doris was born in Wales and immigrated to Canada with her family in 1910. The Flye family lived in Winnipeg, in the Weston area, for many years. Doris was predeceased by her parents, (Alderman) Thomas and Sarah Jane; her sisters, Phyllis and Mabel; her brothers, David, Leonard, Thomas, Edward and Sydney and her husband, Peter Whyte, whom she married in 1940. Doris will be lovingly remembered by her daughter, Jane (Peter) Rogerson; grandson, Kevin Blatch (Michael Burgio); granddaughter, Kimberley (Martin) Pillkahn; great-grand-daughters Christina and Amanda Pillkahn, all of Surrey, BC; nieces Judy (Tosh) Hayashi of Halifax and Pennie (John) Lesow of Pt. Roberts, WA; nephews Brian (Jody) Flye of Edmonton and Glenn Flye of Winnipeg and their families. In her earlier years, Doris was a gifted soprano soloist, who sang in several church choirs, competed successfully in the Manitoba Music Festival and was often requested to sing at events in Winnipeg. Doris was a caring, kind, and generous person, who always put the needs of others, especially those of her family, ahead of her own. Above all, she cherished and loved each and every member of her family. Doris will be greatly missed and ever remembered by her family and will live forever in our hearts. Special thanks to Dr. David Anderson and to the caring and compassionate Staff of Peace Portal Lodge, all of whom contributed greatly to Doris's quality of life during the past two years. In keeping with Doris' wishes, cremation has taken place and interment will take place, at a later date, in Winnipeg at Brookside Cemetery. A private memorial service for immediate family has been held. In lieu of flowers, a donation to a charity of one's choice, in Doris' memory, would be appreciated. ALWAYS LOVED REST PEACEFULLY OUR ANGEL

Happy birthday Grandma! Not a day goes by I don’t kiss your picture goodnight & thank you for being my rock. Love you with all my heart. ❤️ By Mary Elizabeth Frye: Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there; I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow, I am the sun on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there; I did not die. - Posted by: Kevin Blatch (Grandson) on: Mar 05, 2019
