Doreen loved golfing traveling, dancing, shopping, watching all sports and gardening. Her family was her greatest love. Whether it was going back to her brother’s farm for seeding or harvesting, or going to her nieces’ and nephews’ sports games, she was always there and involved. Her family will miss her dearly.
