Doris will be remembered in the hearts of her stepchildren, Jennifer, Eric and Marc Decorte; her nephews, Peter and David Youell, their partners and children; and her extended family in the UK. Doris lived a full and independent life. She nurtured long lasting friendships with her neighbours, friends and work colleagues. Doris had a long and fulfilling career with Royal Doulton Canada. Upon retiring, she enjoyed an active lifestyle attending activities such as exercise classes, line dancing, concerts and theatre. Doris was a great lover of animals, and gave generously in support of animal rescue shelters and conservation organizations. At home, her bird feeders were always full and the birds and squirrels never went hungry. Doris's memory lives in the hearts of her grandchildren, Julian, Emma and Katie; her grandnieces, Emma, Shannon and Candace; grandnephew, Justin; and by family partners, Jane Flanders, Sharron Broughton, Norah Johnson-Youell and Dawn Mitchell. The family would like to thank everyone who provided care. Notably among them are her doctor and staff at the Victoria Health Clinic for their excellent geriatric care, the staff and care team at RSBL Toronto, and the Palliative Care Team at the Scarborough General Hospital during her brief stay with them. In keeping with Doris' wishes, there will be no funeral or memorial service In lieu of flowers, personal contributions to Alzheimer Society of Canada, or to an animal shelter of your choice would be appreciated.
