Doris Swick Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Sep. 11, 2010.

SWICK, Doris Ione Florence (nee Reid) At home on September 9, 2010, the outstanding, selfless, caring, and beloved wife of Lloyd Swick. Daughter of the late Dean Reid and the late Gwen Jonasson. Dearest and kindest mother of Lana (Gary Davis); Gwen (Randall Coryell); Alison (Michael Turner); Patricia (Tim Fuller); Brenda Swick. Cherished and the best of grandmothers to Nathan, Anthony, Gregory, Anna, Bryan, Evelyn, Madeline, and Bobbie. Also survived by nieces and nephews. Funeral arrangement by Beechwood Cemetery. A private Memorial Service will be held later. The family is grateful for the tender care of Dr. Jaffer and staff. Donations to a charity of choice, in honour of Doris, would be appreciated. Doris, a schoolteacher earlier in her life, embedded in her students, as she did in her children, life's goals of knowledge, steadfastness, empathy, honour and, greatest of all, the capacity to love and be loved.

Aunt Doris will be sadly missed. I remember how much she was like my mother and I am am sure that they are together now. My sympathies go out to Uncle Lloyd and Lanie, Gwen, Pellie, Patty and Brenda.
My prayers are with you all.

We met Doris and Lloyd in Edmonton on joining 2nd Battalion PPCLI and Lloyd was my Company Commander. She was gracious and generous as she made us welcome to our new world. She was the role model for all the young wives and an example of how it was to be done. We have been friends ever since and will miss her. Lloyd we know you will take strength from your family and the Lord. Our prayers are with you.

I knew Mrs. Swick (Doris) as a kind, supportive mother of a good friend. She was always interested in me and my children and took the time to listen and be pleased at our accomplishments in a way that made me feel like we were part of her family. She was a special person - non-judgmental, forgiving, encouraging and positive. Our world was and is a better place because she was here.
