Doris Leona
Pearson – 97, Murray
Siding. On Saturday evening, January 8, 2022, Doris enjoyed the
company of her family, Susan, Paul and Anita, and played a game of
Skip-Bo with them, which she won! Shortly afterwards, she went to bed
for the evening and peacefully and quietly passed away. Although we
are saddened that she is no longer with us, we take great comfort in
the fact Mom was in her own home and surrounded by the love of her
family. Born in Shelburne, she was a daughter of the late
Leon and Lulu (Jones) Pentz.
Doris was a member of Brunswick Street United Church and the
UCW and was a dedicated member and worker with the Ladies Auxiliary of
Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 26, Truro. During the war, she worked as
a telephone operator and also worked at the downtown Zellers store in
Truro for many years. She enjoyed traveling, reading, doing crossword
and jigsaw puzzles, playing Skip-Bo and sewing. She will be dearly
missed.
Doris was the last surviving member of her immediate family
and is survived by her children, Paul (Anita) Pearson, Kingston,
Ontario; daughter, Susan Pace, Bible Hill; grandchildren, Michael
(Kyra), Andrew (Lana), Craig (Mieka), Scott, Jennifer (Tim); great
grandchildren, Kezyan, Emily, Julia, Sadie, Archie; several nieces and
nephews. Along with her parents, she was predeceased by her husband,
Donald; siblings, Shirley, Earl, Russell.
Special thanks are extended to the Palliative Care Team and
VON who helped us keep Mum at home.
