It is with heavy hearts that we announce the peaceful passing

Bridgewater,NS. Doreen was born January 30 1942 in Ship Harbour,NS to
the late Ruth (Hirtle) and Clement Laybolt. Doreen was the oldest of 9
children. Doreen eventually made her way to the
south shore with her husband, Ken. Making Bridgewater their home in
1972, Doreen was involved in many organizations and met many friends
along the way. From the CB club, Hockey clubs, the horse show scene,
politics, majorettes to bluegrass music or family gatherings, you
could always count on Doreen being there helping out. Doreen loved to
decorate and could craft anything she got her hands on. She loved to
cook and bake for her family and to entertain for friends.
Doreen will forever be missed by her loving husband
Ken Edwards, daughters Debbie Johnson, Tasha Edwards(Chester Bruhm)
and loving nanny to Brooke Shankle “Granddaughters: A beautiful
reflection of yesterday, a joyful promise of tomorrow.” Doreen is
survived by sisters Ethel Orchard, Joyce Yarn, brothers Clem Laybolt
and Earl Laybolt along with many nieces, nephews and great nieces and
nephews. Doreen is predeceased by brothers Harvey, Gary, Eddy, Donald
