She and Robert married on September 22, 1951 and settled on the family ranch where they raised their four children. In the early years she fed many hungry hired men. As life got easier there was finally time for play, she baked the best chocolate cake ever for coffee on the deck after summer time roping.

Over the years she was a volunteer member of many community organizations including the planning and building of the Dr. David Lander Memorial Swimming Pool and the Millarville Community Library. She was a former member of the Millarville Historical society, the Happy Gang, a founding member of the County Lane Quilt Guild, was chair of the Millarville Fair and long-time volunteer of both the Fair and the Races.

Doreen was a perfectionist when it came to sewing – her children and grandchildren being the beneficiaries of many clothes and prize-winning quilts over the years; her flower and vegetable gardens were much admired; she made the best roast beef supper and there was always room at her table for at least one more. Doreen was a huge and enthusiastic supporter of her husband’s, children’s and grandchildren’s many endeavours including team roping, rodeo, 4-H, hockey, baseball, Ukrainian dancing, wrestling and music recitals and concerts. Her immediate family gathered for a quiet farewell to a much-loved wife, mother, grandmother, sister and aunt. Her life will be celebrated in a community gathering to be announced at a later date.
