Elizabeth (Lizzie) Doucette
1934-2017
The family of Elizabeth (Lizzie) Doucette (nee Cox)
regrets to advise of her passing on Sunday, July 9, 2017 at age of 82
years. She was predeceased by her husband Anselm and special friend
Louis Bennett; her parents Leo and Esther Cox; her brothers Patrick
and William and sister-in -law Philomena. She leaves to mourn two
daughters Joan (Eugene) and Mary (Cyril),
grandchildren, Catherine, Michael,
Andrew, Michael, Marlena and Elena; her sister Bernice Pierce
(Charles) and brothers Eugene (Doris), Michael (Lorraine), Leo
(Sheila) and Freeman (Evelyn), her sister-in-law Florence and her
beloved home care worker and friend Darlene
Bennett. As a long time childcare
provider to Rosemary and Michael Finn, Elizabeth appreciated the
relationship that they developed and sustained over the years.
Elizabeth had been diagnosed with a particularly
serious cancer in January, 2012. Ironically, her last five
years proved to be among the happiest of her life, largely due to the
friendships she developed through the truly innovative Senior Outreach
program offered by the Bay St. George Senior Citizen Centre and her
stay at Emile Benoit House where she lived among an extended network
of friends. She encountered exemplary health care at Western Health,
Eastern Health and at the Charles Bliss Cancer Centre in St.
John’s. Her medical team were amazed at her tenacity and
referred to her as a miracle patient. Her family extends heartfelt
appreciation to each of the many professionals at every level who
treated her with dignity, respect and humour. Dr. Lamswood merits
special recognition here, his interactions with Elizabeth were
especially caring and effective.
As per her wishes, there will be no visitations, and
a private graveside ceremony will occur at the St. Joseph Parish
Ceremony in Shallop Cove at 11:30 AM on Wednesday, July
12. The ceremony will be followed
by a Celebration of Life at her daughter’s home in Barachois
Brook.
