Doris was born in Leeds, England on June 23, 1921 to Thomas and Emma White. She grew up in Whitby, North Yorkshire, England until she came to Canada as a War Bride. She settled down in a house that her husband had built for her after the 1950s flood living there until the time of her death. She also loved spending time at her cottage in Winnipeg Beach during the summer. The family would like to thank Dr. Permack and the 5th floor staff at the Victoria Hospital for their care and compassion. We would like to thank the Ambulance and Paramedic staff for their quick response in attending to our mother. At Doris request cremation has taken place and a private family service will be held. In lieu of flowers, in memory of Doris and her love of animals, donations may be made to the Winnipeg Humane Society, 5 Kent St., Winnipeg, MB R2L 1X3.
