Doreen lived in Thompson for many  years before she moved to Lynn Lake to be close to family and friends.  Doreen loved doing beadwork, picking berries with friends. Doreen loved the outdoors, camping,and going for long walks.

Her longtime friend and sister Doreen Daniels, they were always sharing stories of their childhood memories, laughing about all the mischievous things they ran into.

We will keep Doreen in our memories when we celebrate her life today, for the smiles we will always cherish with her children and grandchildren.
