Doris Jacobi Obituary
Doris Evelyn Bailer Maciborsky Jacobi passed away peacefully on December 15 at the age of 95. She was born on September 30, 1929, in Wetaskiwin and grew up on a farm with her 5 brothers and 4 sisters. She was the oldest and was always very close to her siblings.
She was predeceased by her husbands, Walter Maciborsky and Louis Jacobi; son, Myron and his wife Leah; brothers, Elmer, Harvey, and Leonard; sisters, Leona Feldberg and Irene Boomer.
She is survived by her daughter, Rhonda (Ron) Scott; sons, Blaine (Lucy), Myles (Amanda); grandchildren, Myra (Jim) Maciborsky, Marcie (Owen Garner) Maciborsky, Erin (Brett) Scott, Laurel (Nick) Kary, Devonny (Brian) Hamula, and Brett Jacobi; great-grandchildren, Kasey, Marcus, Brodie, Alice, Harper, Cameron, and Maverick; brothers, Clarence (Yvonne), Melvin (Fiona); sisters, Marion (Jack) Smale, Jeneline Moan; as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
Doris had wonderful friends, and they loved to get together to travel, play dominoes, make quilts, go to the Legion, and go to yard sales. She loved to travel and did lots of it. She travelled all over Europe, the United States, and Canada. She and Penny Felberg would take off at a moment’s notice and go off on an adventure.
Doris was a member of the Legion for most of her life, worked at the Wetaskiwin hospital, and taught Sunday school. She was a character! She had a great sense of humour. She loved food especially Kentucky Fried Chicken, television, playing dominoes, doing puzzles, plants, yard sales, shopping in general, clothes, making quilts, and Tiger Woods. She loved watching golf, baseball, skating, the Olympics, and the Calgary Stampede on television.
Most of all, Doris loved her family, and we all loved her. She had a long and very full life. We know that she is at peace now. She is with God and enjoying her reunion with all the family and friends who have gone before.
She will always be part of our lives.
The family wishes to thank Dr. Hendricks, the staff at Peace Hills Lodge, the Wetaskiwin Hospital, and especially the staff at Good Shepherd Home, Ladybug Support Services (Andrea, Theresa, and Lyne), and Eilene Odea for the wonderful care they provided to Doris.
