Obituary for Neil Dohie
With deep sorrow the family announces the passing of Neil Dohie, on Sunday September 10th, 2017, at the St. Boniface Hospital, at the age of 76.
He leaves to mourn his daughter Karen (Doug) Fisher and son Trevor (Sheilagh) Dohie, and his brothers George, John (Lynn), Glen (Crystal), Nick, sisters Doris Burla, Lee (Gale) Walker, Vera Davison, Jean (Willy) Ziprick and many beloved nieces and nephews.
Neil was predeceased by his wife Deanna (nee Wright) in 2015, brother Patrick Dohie and parents Elsie (Cohan) Dohie and Eli Dohie.
Born in Shell Valley, Manitoba, on October 5th, 1940, he eventually moved to Winnipeg to work. It was at the Canadian Wheat Board where he met his “soon to be” wife Deanna. Neil and Deanna married on October 30th, 1965 and after a short time, made their permanent residence in St.Vital on Avalon Road. Dad’s work years were spent with Silverwood Dairy, McGavin’s Bread and he retired after a few years with Walmart.
Some of Dad’s favorite memories were of the traveling he did with Karen, Trevor and Deanna, as well as the later vacations he took with Deanna and often the family pets. Neil looked forward to visiting Shell Valley to see old friends and he tried to ensure an annual visit was always made. Neil was also a car enthusiast, he enjoyed a great road trip, seeing much of the United States by car. Gardening with Deanna and cooking ethnic Romanian dishes, were pastimes as well. Dad truly loved country music, and he attended many country music concerts over the years.
