Doreen loved to entertain and was the best cook and baker, you were pretty well guaranteed a fresh homemade bun or one of those delicious cinnamon buns when you walked through the door and also a pan or two to take home.
She loved being outdoors tending to her flowers and her massive garden that she would grow and then take pleasure in canning her crop until all hours of the night.
In the winter months you could find Doreen at the rink where she loved to curl and everyone knew not to get in her way when she did her take out!
