Doris was raised in Collingwood, Ontario where she met and married the love of her life, Gar Hindle. They were happy and devoted to each other as they travelled through life together. Doris loved to laugh, was shy by nature, loved all around her, and supported all of her children and grandchildren to do and be the best they could be. She had great courage and was proud to have gone overseas with the Canadian Red Cross Corps during the Second World War. She had great determination and became a teacher at the age of 40. She was a wonderful friend to so many and was interested in everything around her. She loved to travel, play bridge, square dance, watch Winnipeg Goldeyes games, was devoted to the United Church and was proud to be a United Empire Loyalist. Mostly she loved outings with her family and many friends. Doris was an incredible talent - A scholar, teacher, poet, author, and painter extraordinaire. Words can't do her justice yet she had such a wonderful way with words. Her book, Tales Out of School, is a true gift that she has left for future generations. Her paintings are inspirational and cherished keepsakes. Doris will be missed by all who knew her and will forever remain in our hearts.
