Doris Falconer

FALCONER, Doris 1923 - September 4, 2015 It is with great sadness that the family announces the passing of Doris Falconer after a brief illness. Doris was predeceased by her mother Borghild Jackson and her husband JRD (Bob) Falconer. Doris is survived by her sister Vivian (Ian) Blake; loving children Ron (Lucie), John (Frances), Bruce (Linda), Lawrence and Diane (Eric); grandchildren Elise (Mark), Rob, Amanda (Jeremy), Cameron, Angela, Andrea and Megan and 10 great grandchildren. Doris was born in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan before her family moved to the beautiful west coast where she attended school in Vancouver and met her future husband Bob. Bob was in the military and resulted in her travelling across the country where she raised her children. In the mid 1960's she returned to work primarily for the old UI department. Upon Doris' retirement from the EI office in Victoria she took up her favorite sport, golf, by joining the Royal Oak Golf Course when it first opened. She made many friends at the club and continued to golf until 2012. The family would like to thank the Canadian Red Cross and the many nurses and HCAs on 7D north at VGH, who provided the care she needed during her final days. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the Canadian Lung Association. No service will be held for Doris at her request.
