February 12, 2017 – Calgary, Alberta
Doris, beloved wife of Derek Coulson of Calgary, AB, passed away peacefully on February 12, 2017 at the age of 51 years.
Doris was born August 28th, 1965 in Esterhazy, Saskatchewan. At a young age she moved to Powell River, BC for a few years before the family moved to Calgary, Alberta where she made her home. After graduating high school, she went to work for Economical Insurance where she built a 30 year long career. When the company downsized she left to work for Wawanesa where she quickly became a respected supervisor.
Doris loved her family more than anything else. Her little grand daughter was the light of her life. They spent many days together playing princesses and reading stories. She is forever loved and deeply missed. In both life and death Doris has touched the lives of family and friends.
Doris is survived by her loving husband Derek Coulson; daughters and sons-in-law, Angela Coulson and Tyler Willson and Maddison Coulson and Jeff Linantud; granddaughter Alivia; sister Marion and her partner Mike; brother Calvin and his wife Monica; sister January, as well as numerous aunts and uncles. She was predeceased by her mother Mary-Jane Zinman and father Morgan Anderson. May their spirits happily reunite.

So sorry for the loss of such an amazing person. Doris was loved by many and will be missed. The love for her husband and her daughters and granddaughter showed through everyday. All you needed to do was walk by her desk to see the family that she brought with her everyday in her thoughts. She was so proud of all of you.
She was always so willing to help and listen to others with a kind word, a huge smile, and a gentle hug and seemed to be able to figure out just what was needed at each moment. I am so grateful that I got to know her and call her not only my co-worker, but also my friend.
My thoughts, prayers and hugs go out to all the family.
Our sincere condolences during this difficult time. May you find comfort in your family & friends

Rest in paradise, Doris. You were such an amazing person. I always felt so welcomed by you, at your house when I came to visit Angela, or when you helped me get my first “big girl” job at your office. You will be missed so much. I’m so thankful I got the opportunity to meet you and your family. My deepest condolences and love to you Ang, Alivia, Maddie, Derek, and the rest of your family.
Derek, may you and your family be strong through this difficult time. My heart breaks for the loss you have suffered. Doris is a special person, so warm-hearted and loving; I still can’t believe the news. Rest peacefully sweet lady xo
Doris, you will be dearly missed by your friends and colleagues at work. I am truly blessed to have known you, not only as a peer but a dear friend. You have always been so kind and caring and most of all I will miss your positive attitude, support and encouragement as a friend. You have remained strong, calm and collected throughout your battle and have always put others first even when you were in pain and suffering. I will always remember your smile and your cheerful voice. RIP my dear friend. You will be in my heart forever.
My condolences to Derek, Angela, Madison and Alivia on the loss of Doris, as wife, mother and grandmother. Having been a friend and co-worker of Doris for the past few years, I feel blessed to have known Doris, even for such a short period of time as she was a very rare and special person. Doris could light up a room with her positive attitude, her smile and her laughter. I will miss seeing Doris at the office each day, however her spirit lives on and she will be forever captured in my heart.

The Rizzo family
I am so sorry for your loss. I had the pleasure of working with Doris and it truly was a pleasure! She was a wonderful lady who cared for everyone. And you could tell she loved her husband, daughters and granddaughter just by having a conversation with her. She will be missed!
Our condolences and prayers to Doris, she was not just a colleague but a friend, there was something missing yesterday I could not remember what was bugging me, then I saw Anne’s post I entirely missed the services yesterday. I’ll include you in my prayer, rest in peace Doris.
Doris was lovely. From the moment we met her we felt comfortable in her presence and knew exactly she was a treasure of a woman, wife, mother, family member and friend . We had some good times in the company of Derek and Doris and knew their priority in life was their family and friends. Doris was a fun person to be with but could be a listening ear and empathetic to others. What could anyone ask for more than that? Forever missed but never forgotten. Lots of love xxxx
Derek we are so saddened for your loss and our love and thoughts are with you all. We didn’t have the privilege of meeting Doris but she was a beautiful caring lady. The tributes speak for themselves.
Love and blessings,
Wendy, George, Jordan and Aunt Maureen xx
Derek so sorry for your loss .Thinking of you all .Gillian and Mark and family xxx
