In Memory of
Doris Mae Beach (Whaley) May 17, 1932 – May 04, 2023
Doris was born on May 17, 1932 in Timmins, Ontario. She was the fourth child of Fred and Marion Whaley, joining her brother Bill (Marg) Whaley, and sisters Paula (Bob) Munro and Bernie (Harold) Patterson.
The family moved to the Oxford Mills area where Doris eventually met the love of her life, Lorne Beach. They married in 1954 and took up residence at the Beach family homestead on Beach Road. Doris had three sons, Tom (Sally), Tim (Fran) and Doug (JC). She eventually became a grandmother of eight and a great-grandmother of four.
Doris was a registered nurse at the Kemptville District Hospital from its early days. She worked in the maternity ward where she helped many mothers make it through labour and delivery. Through her career she assisted in the birth of many babies, including one of her own grandchildren.
With Lorne by her side, she enjoyed many pastimes including camping, fishing, music and Sunday drives. The two were fixtures at arenas watching their sons, and then their grandchildren, play hockey.
After passing peacefully in hospital, Doris will take her last drive down Beach Road past the family homestead on her way to the Oxford Mills Union Cemetery. Doris will be laid to rest beside Lorne on Monday May 8 at 2:00 p.m., the same date and time that they were united in marriage in 1954.
Donations in honour of Doris’ life can be made to the Kemptville District Hospital Foundation or the charity of your choice.
