Doreen’s Obituary
Chalmers, L. Doreen – Malagash. It is with saddened hearts that the family of Loyola Doreen Chalmers announce her passing on March 7, 2020 at the age of 87. Anyone who knows Doreen and her husband of 65 years, Bob, who passed in June 2019, know of their deep love for and enjoyment of bluegrass music in general, and the Spinney Brothers in particular. It should come as no surprise that Doreen was in Amherst for just such a concert when she was suddenly taken ill and passed peacefully and painlessly in the Cumberland Regional Health Care Centre a few hours later. We know that she is sitting in her lawn chair with Dad beside her watching bluegrass being performed somewhere as you read this. A life-long love of travel and camping took them on many adventures and resulted in countless friendships. Doreen was very active in the church, and was very generous to worthy charities, but her primary devotion was always focused on her family, especially the grandchildren. She will be missed by many: forever loved, remembered and respected by all. Doreen was predeceased by her parents, Loyola and Archibald Upham, her sister, June Marie, and her husband, Bob Chalmers. She is survived by another sister, Helen (William), Pugwash, N.S.; her three children, Michael (Cheryl), Berwick, N.S., Sandra (Robert), Lower Sackville N.S., and Colin (Patti), Kitchener, Ont.; six grandchildren; three step grandchildren and six great grandchildren. Arrangements have been entrusted to Coulter’s Funeral Home, Tatamagouche. There will be no visitation. Due to the COVID-19 restrictions on gatherings, the service for Doreen Chalmers has not been held but will be held at a later date. Interment will be in Miner’s Cemetery, Malagash. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Lillian Fraser Memorial Hospital Healing Garden or the Hospital Auxiliary for the book exchange.
