Doris Lillian (Hawkes) Stevens-Steeves
1925-2023
Doris Lillian Stevens-Steeves, 97, of Forest Dale Home and
formerly of Hopewell Hill, NB passed away peacefully on May 29th, 2023
at the home with her family by her side. Doris was born in
Curryville, NB on November 18th, 1925 the daughter of the
late Weldon and Annie (Gaynor) Hawkes.
Doris was a housewife and her first priority was
her family. She worked at the Albert County Hospital for 18
years as head of housekeeping before her retirement. She was
a real people person and loved talking with them and always had a
smile for everyone she met. She loved to cook and there was
always room for one more at the table, her door was always
open. Doris and her first husband, Leonard Stevens, lived on
a farm in Hopewell Hill. Unfortunately Leonard died in 1976
as a result of a farm accident, she was strong and kept going for her
children. Her faith in her Lord & Saviour helped her
get through the rough times in her life. Later she
met and married Ivan Steeves and together they had a very full and
happy life. They were fortunate to be able to live
independently in their home in Hopewell Hill until they were both in
their 90’s. They were faithful members of the New Life
Pentecostal Church and loved their God with all their
hearts.
Doris appreciated all the visits from her family and all
the help they provided in making it possible for her to stay in her
own home as long as she did. She cherished all the daily
phone calls and loved to talk and keep up on all the news.
Doris not only kept up on the current news but also had a wealth of
knowledge on the past.
She and Ivan moved into Forest Dale Home in
December 2021 and were there together until Ivan passed away
in February 2022. She felt blessed to have so many
people she knew at the home, she was very social and enjoyed her final
days. She was grateful to her children,
grandchildren and friends for all the visits and phone calls,
without a doubt she knew she was loved and
appreciated.
The family would like to say a special thank you
to the staff of Forest Dale Home for all the kindness shown and care
given to Doris while she was there. It made us more at ease
to know she was comfortable and well looked after.
The excellent care mom was given will never be
forgotten.

of Riverview, Pamela Higgs (Craig Hope), and Paula Wilson both of
