DORIS ORCHYK
It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Doris Orchyk on March 2, 2022.
She is survived by husband Don; sons, Jason and Marc (Mardy); and sisters, Louise, Marcie and Yvonne.
Doris had a generous and caring nature, which led her into a lifelong career in nursing, from front line to teaching. She volunteered with many community organizations, her church and sponsoring children with World Vision. She was always passionate about social issues, injustices, and the environment.
She was a vibrant and active person (including member of Grey Hares), traveling, gardening, the Arts, cycling, walking (Camino Trail) and berry picking despite her summer SAD. It was the colder months which brought joy for Doris, like a cloud had lifted.
Her love for others was evident through her cooking and sharing of food with family and friends. Her Ukrainian celebrations and traditions will be greatly missed. Raise a glass of Oban in memory of her. We will miss you, Doris.

Condolences Don & family on the passing of your dear Doris. Although many years ago I recall those fun times we all shared while working at Air Canada. I cherish the memory of a going away party you and Doris hosted on my leaving AC to further my education at RRCC in 1972. Rest In Peace Doris. - Posted by: Greg Feher (Friend from days at Air Canada) on: Mar 07, 2022

We were so sorry to hear about Doris (Mrs. Orchyk). Our family has very fond memories of the family ski trips back in the 80s. It's been awhile since we've shared time together, but time can not erase the memories of true kindness and caring nature that Doris shared with friends, family and everyone she knew. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. The Westmacotts - Posted by: The Westmacotts (Friends of the family) on: Mar 05, 2022

I was so sorry to read of Doris's passing. Doris was my Big Sister in my first year of nursing school at the Victoria Hospital. She was a wonderful role model and she was a huge example of the nurse I wanted to become. Please accept my sincere condolences for her loss.
