OBITUARIES
Doreen Elizabeth Holm
1931 – 2020
Early in the morning on August 28, 2020, with family at her bedside Doreen Holm 88, passed peacefully away at Calvary Place Personal Care Home. Doreen was born in Claresholm, Alberta on November 25, 1931 and was currently residing in Winnipeg after lengthy stays in Montreal, St. John’s and Ottawa. She will be greatly missed by Frank, her husband of 63 years; her children Randall (Olive) Holm, Carl (Debbie) Holm, Gordon (Debbie) Holm; her grandchildren Laura (Adam), Andrew (Deidre), Matthew (Holly), Jeffrey (Regan), Timothy; her great grandchildren Rae, Jameson, Pierson; special family members Valerie King (nee Smith) and 51 other borders whom she managed to mother from 1971-2006. Son Donald predeceased her in October, 1964. She loved to sail, and golf but her favorite activity was hosting and cooking for friends, family and strangers whenever the opportunity presented itself. Special thanks to the staff at Calvary Place for their kindness and care of Doreen during the duration of her stay.
Mom wrote on her facebook page under the religious status: “I am a Christian and looking forward to meeting my Lord one day.” At the age of 88 she got to meet her Lord. Dad has lost the love of his life for the past 64 years and us boys have lost a lighthouse of brilliance beaming from squinting eyes and big smile followed by a giggle.
She was an amazing mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, and great grandmother. There are so many loving stories and memories she has left behind but none so powerful as her love of God and the desire to share that love in service and action to all those to whom came in her path. She taught us that the love of God was for us to share. Opening our home to 52 university borders and sharing countless dinners with strangers (who became friends) attests to the sharing of that love. She has children all over the world!
She was strong and yet so gentle. She was competitive at games and yet was gracious and did not care who won (that was dad lol). She shared freely and asked for nothing in return. Ask her how she was doing even in the hard times and you got with a smile “oh I’m doing all right.” – and she meant it.
Well now she is truly ‘all right’ and reunited with her son Donnie, who passed away at age 5 (would have loved to see that reunion). Covid-19. At first we were upset at this virus and the thought of how cruel it was to prevent a ‘normal funeral’. We still do not like it, but ironically it matches how she lived her life. ‘It is not about me, but the one who created me and gave me breath for such a time as this’ We have deliberately left off names in this post. (You can reference the obituary for that). For those of you knew her, you were family. Share with us in the many stories and celebrations that she has left behind and even more important, use those memories to inspire you in your faith journey to love God and share that love with those around you.
We love you mom and share in your vision “I am a Christian and looking forward to meeting my Lord one day”.
