Doreen MILMAN-WILSON Obituary

DOREEN MILMAN-WILSON Richard, Ryan and Hosuk, Jacqui, Brendan, Abby and Noah, and Lois, Peter and David are devastated by the death of their beloved wife, mom, sister, aunt, mother-in-law and savta on March 18, 2020. We will miss her laugh, her wit, her fierce loyalty and her enthusiasm for the Pittsburgh Penguins. She was happiest celebrating holidays with her family. She especially enjoyed visits to Sandbanks and Cape Cod in recent years. She was brilliant in her career as a medical librarian. She made friends everywhere she went. In the last few years, she embraced her role as savta extraordinaire and we are grateful for the time she had with her dear Noah and Abby. A heartfelt thank you to her former colleague and longtime doctor, Dr. David Spaner. A family graveside service will be held in the Har Zion section of Pardes Shalom Cemetery, 10953 Dufferin Street, Vaughan, on Friday, March 20, 2020. Shiva at 29 Michael Drive, Toronto. Memorial donations may be made to UJA Federation-Greater Toronto 416-635-2883.

My condolences to Doreen's family. I knew Doreen through her connection to the GTA's Health Librarian community where she was a respected and knowledgeable Medical Librarian. When speaking with Doreen it never took long to understand that she was a caring person, and that her strongest passions were family, friends and fun. I know she will be missed.

Dear Richard and family,

My deepest condolences on your loss. I will remember Doreen as very special to me - always helpful, cheerful, optimistic, full of life and good humour. She was one of the smartest librarians I have worked with within the medical librarians community, and she was also a great person with whom to share jokes and life experiences May she rest in peace.

Sincerely,

Elizabeth Uleryk

Dear Richard and family,

My heartfelt condolences and sympathy on your loss. Doreen was someone special, full of life, laughter, common sense and a supportive colleague. It was both a pleasure and privilege to know her from library school days (she did love our parties) and working with her in the Consortium and on CHLA conference planning. May she rest in peace and her memory comfort your family.

Sincerely

So sorry to hear this. Doreen was a friend and colleague. She was a vital member of a close knit group of health science librarians in the Toronto area, and was beloved for her wit, kindness and commitment to the profession. My sincere condolences to Richard and to the Wilson family.

Doreen was a presence like no other. She could be serious when required but preferred to be smiling, laughing, and teasing all those around her. Doreen introduced me to medical librarianship many years ago and instilled in me her interest and curiosity about this field. She will be deerly missed.

My deepest condolences to her family.
