Doreen Gogal passed away suddenly on Thursday, January 7, 2021 at the age of 78. She will be remembered as a very hard working, organized and dedicated person. She loved gardening, golfing and in her younger days she was an amazing curler, winning many bonspiels in Yorkton and surrounding towns. She loved her family and enjoyed talking on the phone with them on a weekly basis. She loved to travel and took many trips with Eugene and other relatives to Nova Scotia, Mexico, Hawaii, Florida, Deadwood, Vegas and Regina to mention just a few. She loved playing Bingo and trying her luck at the various Casinos.
Doreen worked at the Painted Hand Casino for twenty years until her health dictated that she could no longer work there. She loved her job and all the employees that she worked with (especially Elizabeth). She often referred to them as her second family.
She loved watching sports, especially football and cheering on the Riders. She loved to sit outside in the sun and read. She had many good naps in the chair with a book on her lap.
For the past two years Doreen had been residing at Allan Bay Manor where she had met and became friends with many of the wonderful women and men who live there. She enjoyed her daily walks down the hallway, morning coffee and playing cards with “the ladies.” They all looked out for each other and she really felt at home living there.
Doreen was predeceased by her husband Eugene (2015), her parents, Sophie and John, brothers Phillip, Ted, Bill, Lenny and Valentine; sisters Betty and Dianne; and brother-in-law Roger.
She is survived by her children Corrine (Bryan) and Sheldon; grandchildren Nicole (Garret), Evan (Marissa);sisters Bonnie (Erling), Georgina (Ken) and Shirley; and brothers Raymond, Randy (Carmen), and Steve; sister-in-law Florence, Marie, and Eileen; brother-in-law Larry and Harold and many other relatives and close friends. A special thank you to Deb Pryslak who was always there for Doreen and Eugene over the years. As well as Carol Bobowski who became a very dear friend to Doreen.
A Memorial Service followed by the interment in the Garden of Memories, Yorkton Memorial Gardens, will be held at a later date.
Memorial donations may be made to the Heart & Stroke Foundation as gifts of remembrance.
