Obituary for
Doreen Gladys Burland (Jones)
Burland, Doreen Gladys (nee Jones)
With heavy hearts, we announce that Doreen Gladys Burland died suddenly but peacefully on February 1, 2019 at the age of 92. Doreen leaves behind her loving husband of 60 years, Bryan, as well as her two children, Christopher (Jenny) and Lesley (Kevin). She also leaves behind her grandchildren Klare Rebekah (Sam) and Garrett Luke Bryson as well as nieces and nephews in UK and many friends.
Doreen emigrated from Liverpool, England in 1957 and married her loving partner, Bryan on April 12, 1958. Doreen and Bryan lived in Aurora for 50 years moving to Kitchener in May 2008. Doreen and Bryan were blessed to celebrate 60 years of marriage on April 12, 2018. Doreen was a strong, incredibly independent and resilient woman. She was very private, fiercely loyal and completely devoted to her family. We will all miss her ‘accent’ and her humour. She would always insist that everyone have a bit of dessert after dinner: “Just to get the grease out,” she would proclaim.
Doreen’s family will receive family and friends from 7-9 p.m. on Friday, February 8, 2019 at the Henry Walser Funeral Home, 507 Frederick Street, Kitchener, 519-749-8467. Visitation will continue at St. George’s of Forest Hill Anglican Church, 321 Fischer Hallman Road Kitchener, on Saturday February 9, 2019 from 1-2:15 p.m., followed by a Memorial Service at the church at 2:30 p.m. Reception to follow. As expressions of sympathy, donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation would be appreciated by the family.
