DORIS EMMA OLIVER On January 2, 2002, Mrs. Doris Emma Oliver (nee Manchester) of Heffley Creek passed away at the age of 87 years.

Doris was predeceased by husband Cyril B. Oliver on June 15, 1983; mother and father, Walter and Katie Manchester; and sister-in-law Edna Manchester. Doris was born June 18, 1914, in Winnipeg, MB, and was raised in Warren, MB. She met and married Cyril in Winnipeg and together they moved back to Warren where they raised their children. The family all moved to British Columbia in 1969, settling in Heffley Creek. There she realized her dream of owning a dog kennel, the Heath Kennel Doggie Motel, which she owned for many years. She was an active member of the Heffley Creek Community Hall. In the latter years she enjoyed her yard, garden and a good game of cards with friends and neighbours. Her real joy was her grandchildren. A special thank you to Drs. Meredith, Stefanyk and Newhouse and the nurses on 7 South, RIH. Also a special thank you to her friends and neighbours.
