DORIS HIRD Obituary

HIRD, DORIS (nee ROBERTSON) Passed away, peacefully March 11, 2019, at the age of 92 at Grove Park Home, Barrie. Doris, beloved wife of the late Leslie, will be deeply missed by daughters Carolyn, Barb (Jim), Kathy (Hal) and Denise (Jimmy). Doris will be fondly remembered by her grandchildren Blair (Pippa), Ryan (Elena), Derek (Tanya), Stephanie (Andrew), Elyse (Chris), Emma and Brendan, her niece Beverly (Bruce) and her 10 great-grandchildren. Doris gathered friends wherever she went during her long and adventurous life. She especially cherished her long-term friendships with her Girl's Club beginning in her time growing up in the Beach and lasting a lifetime. Always curious, she pursued many interests such as bridge, travel, folk art, china painting and rug hooking. She loved spending her summers at Westwyck on the Mazinaw with her extended family and many friends. The family wishes to thank Dr. McTurk and the staff at Grove Park, Willow Wing, for their gentle and compassionate care. As per Doris' wishes, cremation has taken place. Doris' long and full life will be celebrated in a private family service. Gifts in her memory may be made to Grove Park Home, Barrie or Parkinson Canada.

I sorry news about your Mom she sadly be missed. I loved seeing your Mom at Roberta place and sitting and chatting with her at times. She was one of my favourite ladies. I always remember her. I always said she had such wonderful family . My thoughts are with you all.

Doris was such a great gal...she seemed to relish our travel stories as much as we loved hearing of hers and Les's, and ALWAYS made us feel so welcome, whether it was at the cottage or Roberta Place. She had a way about her - genuinely a bit regal but with a canny dry wit that could catch you off guard as much as her surprisingly girlish smile and laugh that would light up her face.
Luckily she has passed those traits along to her daughters, all great gals themselves-each in their own way, and they in turn to their own daughters and sons, and she lives on in them.
We will miss our visits with her, and mourn with the family the loss of a lovely friend.

Have known and grew up with Doris back when we were young teenagers living in the beaches. At my sixteen birthday Doris introduced me to her boyfriend's boyfriend Treth...who later became my husband of 60 years raising 4 children. I especially remember all the laughs at girls club and our wonderful weekends with the club gals at Niagara on the Lake. My sincere thoughts are with Doris' daughters. I will always smile and laugh when l think of my lifetime friend...
