It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Dorene, age 72, of Falmouth, on Monday, February 3, 2025 in Valley Regional Hospital, Kentville. Born on October 22, 1952 in Windsor, she was a daughter of the late Eugene and Helen (Thompson) Kitchen.
Dorene spent her working career at the Windsor Elms, Dykeland Lodge and Lindsay’s Windsor Funeral Home. She loved travelling, crafting and spending quality time with her lifelong friends and family. She was compassionate, organized and an extremely talented woman. Known for her ability for design, her quilts and cards were treasured gifts received by family and friends. Dorene’s love of travelling included any back road in Nova Scotia with husband, Donnie and also the exotic destinations of Dominican, Jamaica and Florida.
