Doris was predeceased by her 11 brothers and sisters and leaves to mourn her sister Sarah Beaulieu (Joe); four daughters, Loreen (Vernie), Sadie (John), Catherine (Jack), and Sarah; four sons, Arnold, Russell (Grace), Casey (Jackie) and Ray; 31 grandchildren; 19 great-grandchildren; along with her daughters-in-law, Janice and Marie; also numerous nieces and nephews she loved so dearly. Doris lived in Sandy Bay First Nation until she married Angus in 1946. They then moved to Westbourne, MB where they raised their children. Together, her family moved to Winnipeg in 1964 where she continued her role as maternal force by becoming a foster parent for a number of years. Her family, in particular, her sister Sarah, helped her celebrate life, especially after the passing of Angus. Doris loved to travel, quilting, gardening and spending time with her family. She made her home a haven to family, friends and strangers. She made the world's best bannock and naboop. Doris will be remembered as a woman of determination and as a leader that had a voice of wisdom and a hand of kindness. In this world Doris was just one woman but to us she was the world. The family would like to thank the physicians and nurses of unit 5, 1, and 2 at Seven Oaks Hospital.

Doris was my granny but she raised me since I was 2 years old, so she is also my mom. My granny was the strongest woman I have ever known. She taught me so much about so many things and I didn't realize how important these things were until after she had passed away. It wasn't until recent days that I realized just how similar I am to my grandmother. I was a stubborn child and I'm sure it was hard to raise me at times, but I sure am glad she took the time and patience to love me enough to raise me as her own child. I am very fortunate to have her as my mother. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of her. I miss her dearly and I just can't get over the fact that she's gone....still, after all these years. I don't know if this pain will ever go away or if it will ever get any less, but there is a gigantic hole in my heart and my life is empty now that you're gone granny, I miss you so much. I wish I could go over my life again and be a better person for you, you are the best thing that there ever was about my life. You made me strong, you made me wise, you taught me how to love and you showed me what it was to be important. I love you.
