Predeceased by her beloved parents Sam and Bessie Vasilevsky. Special thanks to Dr. Walter Gotlieb and to Nurse Tracey Regimbal. As a social worker, Doreen's wisdom, devotion to her staff and clients made her a true leader in her profession. She gave generously of herself and touched many lives most profoundly. Doreen was a great friend - sensitive, loyal and supportive. She was always thoughtful and caring. Funeral service took place on Wednesday, November 10. Shiva at her home, from 2 to 4:30 and 7 to 9 p.m. daily.

My heart goes out to the whole family, I'm so sorry. Doreen and I did carpool together for years while our kids were at Akiva. Doreen was such a soft, gentle soul; an absolute gem. Eitan, Tamar and Yonathan, my deepest condolences. May the beautiful memories you shared with your mom, provide you with comfort during this tumultuous time.
