With grateful hearts for her long life, it is with sadness the family announce the peaceful passing of Doreen Henry on January 29, 2024.

She was predeceased by her husband Paul, her parents Ellen and George Williams, and her brother Ross. She is survived by her dear sister-in-law Ivy Williams, cousins, nieces, and nephews.
