Obituary For Doris Brown

Doris Brown, resident of Beaverlodge, AB, passed away peacefully, with family, at home on Sunday, May 8, 2016 at the age of 92 years.

Although our hearts are heavy at the thought of her not being here with us, we take comfort in knowing she was welcomed into her eternal home by the many family, friends, angels and saints that have gone before her.

Doris is remembered with love by her remaining siblings: Ray (Martha), Dennis (Sharon) and Bob (Elizabeth) Courchene, and Denise Yeager; sister in-law Eileen Courchene and brother in-law Glenn Ecklin. Doris leaves behind seven children: Ken (Hetti), Dennis (Sophie), Jim (Sue), Sandra (Joe), Don (Darlene), Karen (Mike), Michael (Michele); sixteen grandchildren, eighteen great-grandchildren as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

Doris was a lady that loved colour, from the fresh green of new leaves in the spring to the vibrant reds of her precious cactus flowers.

She was never a fan of dressing in black for a funeral when celebrating life. We encourage everyone that is able to come to her Celebration of Life to wear colour in honour of her being home with her family and her God.

A Prayer Service will be held on Friday, May 13, 2016, at 7:00pm at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Beaverlodge, AB (1107 1^st Ave.).

A Celebration of Doris’ Life will be held on Saturday, May 14, 2016, at 11:00am at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Beaverlodge.

Memorial donations may be made to Development and Peace (1425 René-Lévesque Blvd West, 3rd Floor, Montreal, QC, H3G 1T7).

Thanks for including the obituary of your Mom in our Kamloops Paper. The obituary brought back many memories of your Mom. You loose contact with a person over the years and it is amazing how quickly memories return. The photo of her is the way I remember her. It was interesting the comment on black at funerals, so like her. How are you two doing? The boys must be grown up and probably have children of their own now. You are not in Kamloops are you? The end of my questions. I wanted to express my condolences on the death of your mom. Regardless of a person's age, they are always missed and fondly remembered. Memories are never lost or die, they occur at different times and through different events. Take care Kathy - Kamloops
