Doreen was born on January 8, 1955 in Saskatoon, SK. She graduated from ED Feehan high school in 1972 and shortly after she went on to study and become a dental assistant in 1974. A profession in which she worked until her retirement in 2016. Doreen lived in Saskatoon all her life, but moved to North Battleford, SK in 2012 after marrying Kim. She loved to garden, cook, collect antiques and spend time with her family. She was a very nurturing and generous woman and was always willing to help others. She was the type of person that could meet a new friend anywhere she went.
