She was the matriarch, soul and strength of our family – the world’s greatest Mom, Grandma and Great Grandma.

She is also survived by her brother Maurice Healy (Therese) and numerous nieces and nephews. Doreen was predeceased by her beloved husband Charles (Pat) Davis in 1969; her sister Dolores (DoDo) Corriveau; brothers, Henry and Carl Healy.
The family would like to express their gratitude to the staff at Bowcrest Care Centre and Unit 61 at Foothills Hospital for their compassionate care for Mom.
