DORIS ELLARHEA (KILPATRICK) HOWARD October 1925 - June 2023 With sadness, but gratitude for a life well-lived, we announce the passing of our mom, Dorie, peacefully on June 9, 2023, surrounded by love and family. Predeceased by her best friend and husband, Roger (2006). Celebrating Dorie's life are children, Daphne (Harry), and Linda (Al); grandchildren, Danielle (Jeff), Derek (Jes), Alex (Vicki), Trevor (Cassie), and Juliana (Jeff); great-grandchildren, Kinsley, Adelyn, Jack, and Lexi; and Dorie's brother, Doug; along with many very special nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her sisters, Eileen (2017) and Velma (2022). Mom had always said, 'don't shed tears for me. Be happy for the wonderful life I have led.' She truly did live a perfectly wonderful life. Many thanks to everyone who assisted in Dorie's care during her final years, and a big thank you to the amazing team of staff and volunteers at the Matthews House Hospice. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the beautiful Matthews House Hospice in Alliston, where Dorie was welcomed and spent her final weeks. A celebration of Dorie's life will be held on Saturday, October 7, from 10 a.m. to 12 noon at the Toronto Cricket Curling & Skating Club.
