Harrison; Doreen Brenda (nee Santer)
Passed peacefully at Grey Gables Nursing Home on Sunday, January 23, 2022, of Flesherton in her 88th year. Beloved wife of Ron for 55 years. Loving mother of Rick and his wife Colleen of Chatsworth and Robb and his wife Amber Holmes of Flesherton. Grandmother of David, Ethan and Lucas. Doreen is greatly missed by her sister Betty Morriss and her children Wendy, Rick and Barry as well and many nieces and nephews in England. Predeceased by brothers Fred and Ron.
Doreen was a kind and generous soul. She loved her family fiercely. Having emigrated from England just after the war, she spent some time in Canada before moving to Florida where she worked for General Telephone. She returned to Canada in 1965, and lived in Toronto with her sister and brother in law. Ron and Doreen met while they both worked for Bulldog Electric, and were married in 1967.
After they moved into their home near Flesherton, Doreen worked for Canada Post, with Ron at Macphail Elementary School, and at Grey Highlands Secondary School until she retired.
Doreen loved to knit, loved cooking and baking, and was an avid reader. She called it like it was, and wouldn’t put up with nonsense either. Often her British accent would come out with funny sayings in later years. Doreen will be dearly missed by those that knew her.
Cremation has taken place. A celebration of life will take place at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations to the Grey Gables Activity Fund would be greatly appreciated. Online condolences, donations and tributes available at www.fawcettfuneralhome.ca
